I have created both animated gif files with Photoshop CS5.1 (combining single frames; gif 128 with dithering) and FFMPEG via command line (converting a .mov file to a .gif file; -pix_fmt rgb24).
Photoshop's output resembles the original images much more than FFMPEG does in terms of colors. What is the reason for this?

More than ffmpeg a quite versatile tool to convert video clips to an animated GIF is the convert module from the Image Magick suite. After having installed the suite a most basic conversion can be done with:
convert -delay 1 input.mov output.gif

GIF is a lossy format. Every GIF export tool can use different compression methods--including how it may re-map colors.
