About FLI
Autodesk Animator saved its animations as .fli files from 1989, 320 by 200 in 256 colors, and Animator Pro added .flc for any size. DOS games, encyclopedias and screen savers played them, and 3D Studio rendered to them.
A FLIC keeps its first frame whole, then only the lines that changed, each frame with the palette changes it needs. It holds no sound.
Filepeek decodes it with FFmpeg inside your browser, and Export saves an MP4 that plays on anything.

Questions
What's the difference between FLI and FLC?
FLI is Animator's first format, 320 by 200 with 64 levels a color, and FLC, from Animator Pro, takes any size with 256 levels a color. Filepeek plays both.
Why is there no sound?
FLIC holds only pictures, so games played their sound alongside it.
Can I convert it to MP4?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as MP4.
