GIF only supports 256 colours, and while it does support a different
palette for each frame, I don't think GIMP can save such images. I'd
suggest you to try using VirtualDub <http://www.virtualdub.org/> to convert
the JPEGs, since in my experience, it's GIF output produces the best visual
results (you should use one of the lossless GIF optimizers [such as this
one: <http://chemware.co.nz/tgo.htm>] afterwards, since they can reduce the
image size quite a lot).
