my first real post in a little while, i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find an avatar sized animation of the space battle from Star Trek: First Contact, starting right after Picard gives the "fire"order, right up to when the cube finishes exploding.

any ideas?

You could make it yourself. There are a lot of ways of importing DVD's into your computer and a lot of ways to make .gifs.

Idiots guide...

Download VirtualDub and open your video file.
Use the 'copy video to clipboard' to copy the current frame
Paste it into a program like Paint or Irfanview and save to a gif file
Do this with all the frames you'd like to be in the animation (I'd copy about every 5th frame) so the file is not HUGE.

Then find a free program like 'Unfreez' to combine all of these files into an animated gif and hey'presto!!
