Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

You also double-posted under 6 hours, lol :P

I personally use Photofiltre Studio but it's not free. There's also UNFREEz, but I don't know if it still exists. An alternate way is to save each frame in GIF, open them in virtualdub and save them in AVI one by one, then open the first, then append each avi segments to it, then save as gif again. Not sure if that would work for everyone, though.

For mine, I used The GIMP, I put each frame in a different layer, specially named them and exported as GIF. But I used a spritesheet (i.e. one image with all the frames in it, usually ripped from videogames) and not an AVI... Well for the AVI I think you could open it in The GIMP.

And is it a Caramelldansen?

It still exists, but it's a bit limited imo. It's not possible to choose different lengths for different frames.

You probably figured it out, but you have to host it somewhere else. Uploaded avatars become still.

Could it depend of the compression used?

Also did anyone know animated JPEGs existed?

Actually nevemind, the person that did that just renamed the gif extension to jpg and it still showed fine in browsers. Apparently that was how you got animated icons/photo on your Facebook profile a while ago.

Probably, you already found out, but just make a .gif (using Photoshop, or any GIF Maker, I recommend a program specialized on that, like Easy GIF Animator) and upload it!

I found they existed because I think one of the old CaDan screenshots was an animated JPG. I could be wrong, though.
