	JPEG wasn't DESIGNED for multiple images, but you can
always try to load-and-decompress separate JPEG files in real
time, which is better than not animating at all! real-time JPEG
would mean the HD and decompression algorithm and CPU are fast
enough to load and display an image in 1/30th of a second.
