What is FLIC / FLI / FLC?
The FLIC file format was one of the first graphic animation formats on the PC. It was developed by and used by the Autodesk Animator. It provides relatively fast animation in 320x200 resolution modes. The FLI use delta updating for faster animation.

The FLC is a successor to FLI. FLC can store images of variable size, and allows a palette of 256 colors (although the palette can be changed from line to line to give more colors per frame). FLC supports a variable frame rate specified in frames a fixed frame rate specified in milliseconds per frame, and maintains information about the original aspect ratio. In theory, all FLC animations must loop, but in practice this requirement is often ignored. The image data in FLC files is compressed using a Run-length compression scheme. This is suitable for animations, but is inappropriate for videos or dithered images. As mentioned, the FLC format is a successor to (and close cousin of), the older FLI format.

Difference between FLI and FLC, as too often they are taken for different names of one format. In fact those files that have extension .fli are of older format. The new format was not limited to 320x200 resolution and had better compression. The files of the new format got the extension .flc. There is also FLX files which are a slight variation on the standard FLC format. As both names become widespread and refer to the same variations of the same format we use FLI/FLC when describing the formats.

FLI/FLC format appeared in 1993 as an animation format (developed by Autodesk, Inc). FLI/FLC format is widely used for scientific cartoon type movies (animated graphs, etc.). FLI/FLC movies are more deairable than MPEG as 640x480 movies can be played back at reasonable speeds on X11 workstations, PCs and Mac.

The codec uses RGB colorspace: paletted RGB8, RGB15, RGB16, RGB24. RGB8 is tightly coupled with the VGA mode 0x13.

Compression methods are RLE-based.

There are many variations of flic container, the most common are the original FLI from Autodesk Animator and the extended FLC from Autodesk Animator Pro.

Standard FLIC files are video-only. However, various deviations also include audio.

The file format is chunk-based.

FLIC video frames can be stored inside of an AVI file. In this case, a 256-entry 32-bit RGB palette is stored in the AVI header per the usual method for doing so.

FLIC video frames can be stored inside of an Apple QuickTime file. In this case, a 256-entry 32-bit RGB palette is stored in the video atom's stsd atom per the usual method for doing so.

What is M4A?
M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio. Since MPEG-4 Part 14 is a container format, MPEG-4 files may contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams, making it impossible to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone. In response, Apple Inc. started using and popularizing the .m4a file extension. Software capable of audio/video playback should recognize files with either .m4a or .mp4 file extensions, as would be expected, as there are no file format differences between the two. Most software capable of creating MPEG-4 audio will allow the user to choose the filename extension of the created MPEG-4 files.

Because of its exceptional performance and quality, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4, 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications and is the audio codec of choice for Internet, wireless and digital broadcast arenas. AAC provides audio encoding that compresses much more efficiently than older formats, such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.
