As in the thread name - is this possible to code? And if yes can I ask anyone to do it, please?

I'm not an SCP guy, but my guess is that this would take a lot of code to do, and the SCP project already has more features to be implemented and bugs to fix than it can handle.  I heard that there was a new file format for this type of animation in the works, based on jpg, but I have no idea when this will see the light of day...

Besides, no one wants to support AVI anymore.

AVI rather than ANI is not going to happen. Theora support might be possible - I don't know how flexible the implemented decoder is. Taylor was planning some kind of enhanced file support, but that's somewhere on his to-do list. If you want instant gratification, scripting with an EFF would be your best bet. You'd have to manually animate it and keep track of mouseclicks to increment stages, but you'd be able to use a lot more colors than an ANI.

I believe taylor planned on using MJPEG for the new anim format.

I think you can do CBAnis in Ogg Theora format...  Is that correct?

no, you can't.

It's tough to use Theora for things like that because the interface and the movie code require different playback/timing//sync/frame-rate methods.  It is unlikely be be fixed until some point after the Theora movie playback code is changed to operate in a separate thread so that these issues can simply be avoided altogether.  And there is no ETA for that, it's not really even on the todo list yet, so don't bother asking.
