The fatal error seems to be caused by the Pdfbase package. It redefines the output routine in a way that crashes TeX4ht. It can be fixed using the attached pdfbase-hooks.4ht file. I've already pushed it to TeX4ht sources, so it should be available in TL soon.

Regarding the Animate package suport, I see that there is a rudimentary animate.4ht file, which probably fixes some bug that was reported to me in 2017. I don't know much about this package, so I am not sure if the fix works anymore. I can try to provide a proper configuration file with support for inclusion of supported animations, if you provide me with a MWE. Note that we can support only features that are available in web brosers, but I think that inclusion of SVG or Gif images should work without problems.

I have a minimal file at the end of this message. If I run

make4ht -a debug -m draft test.tex

then I get this message.

(/usr/local/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex4ht/html5.4ht)) (./test.aux)
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=10000].
\old:outputpage ->\old:outputpage
{}
l.9 \end{document}

No pages of output.
Transcript written on test.log.
[FATAL] make4ht-lib: Fatal error. Command htlatex returned exit code 1

If I comment out the \usepackage{animate} line then it works great, and I can view the .html file perfectly.
