In the past I've always used Animation Shop Pro (comes Paint Shop Pro) for creating animated gif's... not aware of any free tools but I'm sure theres something out there... link: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satelli...=1047024390003
... it costs $39 but I know that it would work
also alot of expensive video editing packages have output to .gif ... if you were editing the video with something like Premiere or Final Cut
[edit]dug this up... may be worth a shot:

[edit 2]the free one that I just posted works... here's a sample gif from some random video that I found on my computer:

but it looks like you may have to resize your source video first to use this tool

Yeaah baby !!

Finally, i had to find a soft to resize my video and i used VirtualDub, which also have an 'export to gif' function.
So i recommend it, it's opensource and works very well, even if your computer is weak.
