gif2avi(file) converts a gif file to an avi video and saves it to the current directory.

gif2avi(file, destination) specifies where the avi file should be saved and its file name.
gif2avi(file, '.mp4') converts to mp4 file.

gif2avi(file, [ ], 'nLoops', n) records the gif loop n-times.

Set the profile (output file type), FrameRate, Colormap, and Quality in VideoWriter by using name-value parameter inputs.

aviFile = gif2avi(__) returns the full path to the avi file.

[~, vidObj] = gif2avi(__) returns the VideoWriter object.

When complete, a message is printed to the command window indicating the location of the output file.
