Of course. But it is, if we neglect jbig2, the only embeddable one.

The file formats that can be embedded depend on the output driver, not on
animate. It is Postscript with dvips and pdf, png, jpeg, jbig2, metapost
generated PS with pdfTeX.

I don't see a problem here. Put them into a subdirectory and TeX, pdfTeX
or Ghostscript, if well configured, will find them easily.
