If I understand your question correctly, I think you need to unpack the files… do they all say FileName.LHA or .LZH??? If so, these files are "archived", "compressed" or "packed" files. Each .LHA file contains several different related files and their icons, etc. needed to run the program that you…

#Hello from PA!
Message #47985
John, I have seen your name often, as I've lurked around all of the forums….and have missed seeing it (although I do remember you saying that you would not be around for a while). Welcome back! I have some questions that I will be E-mailing you about your system. But…
John, I'm still exploring this problem…. as usual, the ball is now in the customer's court, and he has yet to give me any test footage to frame-grab from, and I'm too busy with my last wedding to give the problem any serious thought right now… May I contact you…
Eduard, The Mac artists can indeed be a bit "proud" (and provincial) about their platform (as I guess we are the same way about ours…. ;^) Thank you for your good explanation…. sometimes this stuff (resolutions) can get very complicated… I read a good article in the now defunct AmigaWorld…

Wonderful……, Thanks, John. This should work great… I'm going to try it immediately. Thank you for your line by line tutorial, that should make things much easier… you deserve a special crown in heaven for that . I didn't realize that LW could be so useful. Thanks again, Hal Who…
I don't understand Lepido…. Unless you mean 64 x 16 = 1024 Is this the X dimension… If so what would be the "Y" then? (My head hurts……………) ;^) Hal Who is more real? Homer or Ulysses? Shakespeare or Hamlet? Burroughs or Tarzan? = Robert Heinlein
Eduard, What do you mean by a "stamp"? My Mac artist at work says that in order to produce a 150 line printed piece, a 120 pixels per centimeter TIFF file is needed. When you say 65 dpi (or 72) you cannot possibly mean the same thing as the way…
John, You said: >>>>>Load the files into LW as an image sequence then render out as Background sequence with square pixels to what ever res you like. I have used IFF Hi-Res images as backgrounds before when I have rendered out static scenes with 3-D models like the Camcorder that…

Calling all ADPRO-types, Does anyone here know the "specifics" on how I could go about transferring Art or specifically TIFF files from my Amiga to a clients MAC? I know that there are specific rules conceerning the pixel aspect that I will have to know before I attempt to set…

Future of DTV?
Message #3722
Your'e too late guys, At Blockbuster in my neck of the woods, there are two Video tapes on toilet training beiing marketed….. One for girls and the other one oddly enough is for boys… I haven't viewed either (even tho' I have a girl bein T-Trained even as we speak…
3.1, Eh… Answer to today's philosophy question……. It is never, ever, enough. And, given Amiga's so-far partly-cloudy sitcheeayshun, I hope it *_Will_Never_Be_Enough_* Can I get a witness? Hal Zortchin' down the Digital Dirt Road, on Autopilot\____|\ o/~ o/~ Goin' to Kansas City o/~ o/~ / |/
Cool. Today's philosophy questions: (1) Why do you always have to pay at least $200 and install something complicated in order do anything truly wonderful? And, (A), why is it never enough? Hal Zortchin' down the Digital Dirt Road, on Autopilot\____|\ o/~ o/~ Goin' to Kansas City o/~ o/~ /…
Many thanks Betty, I have AmigaGuide now and it appears to work well…. I thought I had checked the AmigaUser AP catalog for Amigaguide, but hadn't found it, even though it apparently *was* lurking there…. If it was a snake…….. Perhaps I will get the hang of the File Finder…
Thanks Ron, I now have it and it appears to work well…. Can I also find Multiview there?….. I will check my AP catalog, for that as well…. Funny, I thought I had checked the catalog for Amigaguide, but hadn't found it….Hmmmmm, maybe it was the Fred Fish disks I…
#Amilink-CI
Message #2245
Does anyone here have the AmiLink/VT (CI) editing system? I got a couple of upgrade disks in the mail, (back in 1993), that I could not use. I did not have Workbench 2.1 yet for my Amiga……and these updates will only work with the 2.1 or above. Now I have…
#AmigaGuide
Message #182782
Where can I get the Amigaguide program for my A2000….. I have 2.1 workbench. I appear to have an Amigaguide.library in my Libs directory, but can't seem to get it to work. I must only assume that I must have something else (in my tools directory) to read these documents,…

#Help
Message #181917
Betty, Where can I find some directions on how to download files, or more properly, what to do with them after I decompress them. I have downloaded several programs, decompressed them only to find such messages as "cannot find your tool :c/XIcon" (requester) Other frustrating requesters are can't find Amiguide…
I have an old C/I version, and will be forced to upgrade it ( I have the old Viewport? system, with just one box that goes between each deck, now that I want to get three decks going, AmiLink told me they do not use the Viewport boxes anymore )…
#AP missing Messages
Message #179970
Betty, I had a new situation come up with AP. I had two messages waiting for me in the DTV Forum, however , they were in a different section then where I had been leaving my messages, previously. (subjects or sections) Once again, I could read them in "hands on",…
Michael, I guess what I meant to say was, that indeed since the 1970 is a non-timecode deck then it would perhaps not be a good thing to run the 1970 with the Sony, because it was timecode capable. (Not because of the brandnames). I sometimes don't explain myself so…

Hi, my name is Hal Waterhouse, and I use an Amiga 2000 '030, 55MHZ machine with the setup described below. I've done weddings in the past, an insructional video, and a Trade Show booth "bait" video for a printing company. I would like to do more of the latter in…
Hal, (to Hal, from Hal ) You might have known, if you correct another's spelling your own goes to blazes. I meant Lithographic. …….. Sheesh. Hal Zortchin' down the Digital Dirt Road, on Autopilot\____|\ o/~ o/~ Goin' to Kansas City o/~ o/~ / |/
"Rich, at Sun LihoGraphic Arts" What happened ? Did the keys stick on that relic of a PC (or worse yet, an elitist, desktop-publishing, forked filed, Mac) you're probably using? Irrelevant is spelled with one "l". You could not possibly own an Amiga and say those *>>horridmaximum dispersion
#Message Recieved?
Message #177964
Betty, I am kind of wondering if my copy of AP is leaving messages where it should…. I left a message in 2 forums and did not get a response, and when I went in to see if the messages were there (SEARCHED for it) they did not appear to…

Thanks again Betty…. I will try those… Gottago Kids are callin'. Hal
Thanks … Id like to try that. Slogging Down the Digital Dirt Road …Going to Kansas City Hal
I'm not using Xetec, but maybe I could check 'em out. The original thought was that I might be able to use a CDROM drive with my daughter's A500, or use it with ( perish the thought ) my original A1000 that I'm currently using to write this note. I…
2.1 Scarce?
Message #42070
Jeff, I bought it here in KC, MO. from Desktop Video Services. They make a peripheral card box, that can hold the Toaster, etc. He heard I was having trouble finding one a few months back and graciously found one for me through his distributor…. Are they still hard to…
My 2000HD now sports a 2.1 WB, a 540meg Hard Drive and a CDROM device, all installed in the last week or so…… It's Alive! (you may disconnect the electrodes, Igor !) I remain, Slogging Down the Digital Dirt Road …Going to Kansas City Hal
Hey Betty, Whew you surprised me… :'o I guess you can appear on any forum. I called Quantum and they suggested checking my terminator packs on my internal drives. I think I got confused by GVP's description in their manual and just terminated the outer devices. I threw caution to…
Thanks Gerald, I left a message for "snapper" and was told that CPR no longer supports 1.3. I have given up the search for a CD driver that will work with 1.3. I guess my trusty A1000 will have to attain door stop status. (And my daughter's A500…) Ah well,…
Thanks Betty, I'll try that. PS: Do you know any reason why, (after I have loaded 2.1 on to my new 540meg HD and installed the chip) my Hard Disk "tally light" for lack of a better term, keeps blinking in a rather syncopated manner? Is this normal for 2.1…

Thanks for the advice, Betty… I will do it as soon as I can get it all together. First things first, however. I need to get all this new stuff installed. Thanks once again. Hal
'Preciate it, Brian, Glad to know it was made by DKB, The same people with whom I have had a DKB megachip on backorder for 2 months now….Something about a certain company being stingy with the Agnus chips…. 🙂 Well anyway I think I have a line on a used…
Thanks for the advice , John… she has an A500 which I mostly have to boot up for her… you are probably right that it could get scary. Well, I'm still interested in the board. If you want to give me the price on CIS-mail, I will send you my…
The board sounds like a good idea. Send me the price. >not sure I understand why you need 1.3 compatibility. I figured I would need it because someday I envisioned giving this CDROM drive to my daughter after I get a bigger ( multi-session, etc.) one. I was also going…
Well, John, I didn't think I would get a reply from an author of my favorite mag ( a magazine that soon is seemingly going to become a pamphlet size -wise if it gets any thinner…). I must tell you that I have associated your name with Amigas for a…
Thanks John … I will send you my address via CIS E-Mail. Wish I could help you with the Elan Performer software…maybe I can find it around here someplace. Sometimes the folks at KCAUG have stuff like that… Well, as we say around here….. I 'preciate it !! I've been…

CDROM w/1.3 WB HELP !!
Message #152339
If you mean the AMICD.LHA …. Yes I have downloaded it, but the instructions seem only to be in a form called "AmigaGuide" which I think is 2.x WB type of Help menu…It also appears to be talking about installing on 2.0, etc. but does not mention 1.3. Also, I…

Hi Michael, I saw your reply about the CDROM drive to the guy with the A2000 GVP '030 and figured you might be able to help me. I also have the same setup ( Its Deja Vu all over again !! ), however, I use WB 1.3 ( B') >>>>>…

I just bought a Media Vision CDROM Drive from Creative. I got the Asimware Driver that was bundled with the drive. The driver apparently works just with 2.0/2.1 Workbench… Is there anythingavailable that will work with 1.3 ? I have the 2.0 workbench, but currently don't have enough room on…
