Ian, Video for DOS is in our Computer Animation Forum (GO COMANIM) as VFD.ZIP. Matt
Tim, If you don't get a response here, be sure to check out HSC's formal technical support area in GO GRVENB. Matt
Don, Your best bet is to GO GRVENB and check with HSC directly. If it's one of their products, they should have info in their library on it, or a thread discussing benefits and problems. Matt
Charles, We would prefer that Imagine point out to its members where they would appreciate technical or artistic support questions to be handled. Matt Drury Sysop
Until then, GO PARTNER and fill out the form there. This'll get you started!
Welcome! I've forwarded your message to Curt Bradshaw, our vendor liaison, who will be in touch within a week.
Andy, Make sure you're running the newest version of the software you're using.
Fine Art Conference!
Message #2104
Art expert and author Kathy Kemp will answer your questions on visionary folk art and discuss her new book "Revelations: Alabama's Visionary Folk Artists," in a Fine Art Forum conference on 30-Nov at 10 p.m. EST (04:00 CET). Visionary folk art is one of the hottest new trends in the…
Josh, I am _very_ impressed with Imphobia. It's one of the cleanest virtual mags I've seen. If this group comes up with any position papers or such for submission to Imphobia, let me know so I can offer the promotional text I have here in adjunct. We have the ability…
Nils, CompuServe supports the full 127-character ASCII set – characters from 128 to 255 are _not_ ASCII but are subject to interpretation based on the code page and platform you're running on. Good news, though: CIS supports the Latin-1 character set for extended characters such as umlauts, and has done…
Joel, Not at all. There's a wide variety of unZIP utilities for the Macintosh, and the newer ones are just as good as the ones on the PC end. For now, GO MACFF and search on the keyword UNZIP for programs newer than mid-1993. This will help ensure the 2.04…
Ranger, GO COMANIM to access our Computer Animation Forum, where the Animation Sources library resides.
Peter, Staff members deleting messages is a hanging offense in our forums. Seriously, messages may 'scroll' – be removed in favor of new messages – automatically after being online for anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks depending on how popular the forum. If the recipient's ID is in the…
Ed, It exists, and since AVI is Audio and Video, sounds are built right in. What kind of computer do you have?
Thanks, Ian! I'll check it out today.
Mike, GO COMANIM and grab VFW11D.ZIP from the "Motion Video Srcs." library (#12) – it's the newest version of the VfW runtimes.
George, I've never heard of it. Downloading is an activity you perform on your computer to access files in our libraries. Do you require assistance with that end of the process?
Leon, VFW11D.EXE – 1.1d – is the newest version to my knowledge. It should also bring along an enhanced Media Player to enable you to take advantage of the new formats and codecs.
Colin, I'm not having fun with the splits, but they must be done.
Ian, If you have any contact information for the author, I'll be glad to get in touch and see if he or she doesn't mind having it here.
Jeff, This forum wasn't on the 'download and review' forums list we keep internally until today; my apologies for this oversight. Files should be reviewed in the next day or so as time permits. Matt
Better than what? We use no more than 10% of our brain capacity, right? I have to spread that 10% through 27 forums each morning, all without the benefit of a caffeine injection. Perhaps when I wake up I'll take a second look.
"> Woah, take a hit of this man. It's 100% assembly, man. Far out. Woof!
Shane, Colin is almost right. Check out the new "Compression/UU" library in GRAPHSUP.
Colin, FYI, we created a dedicated compression tools library in GRAPHSUP last week. Close, but no cigar.
There's a file here which explains how to install and check Video for Windows. Search all libraries on the keyword VFW for a short list!
Edward, If you don't get a response here, GO GRVENA and check with the Grasp folks directly.
Roland, Things change so fast around here that an faq file is hard to create. Your best bet is to review the section descriptions for each of the sections here, then tune in to what you find interesting.
Dan, At this point, flattening must still be done on the Mac.
OS/2 users with version 2.11 or later of the OS have Indeo support built in – which is what is needed to display these files. Check your docs for the details. If you need to unzip them, the most popular ZIP unarchiver is PKZIP, found as PK204G.EXE in the "Compression/UU"…
Yowser!
John, The focus of this workgroup is to create demos in the style of "Future Crew" which push the limits of current hardware. Using a standard format such as Flx may be more portable and widespread, but not offer the slickness that direct coding can.
Matrox had a wonderful display of MPEG hardware at SIGGRAPH this year. You may want to GO GRVENB and check out the Matrox section (#16), also posting a question to them for further, detailed assistance. Janet Matey (Marketing Manager, Video Products Group) is the lady we talked to in August.…
John, The most popular ZIP unarchiver for MSDOS and Windows platforms is PKZIP, found as PK204G.EXE in the "Compression/UU" library (#11) of our Graphics Support Forum (GO GRAPHSUP). It opens a DOS box in Windows to do its work, but you're sure of ZIP compatibility. We also have a help…
John, Thanks for the excellent input. We hammered out the flattening issue a few months ago in CORNER, and are looking at enhancing QT support in our video forums in coming weeks.
Merce, The RAW format seems to be the most in demand here, due to its compatibility with POV-Ray and other applications. DXF is by no means a must, though I would listen to the people here who use these programs. Thanks for the contribution!
As long as the file is appropriate to both groups, and does not really have a good, solid focus relating to either place, it's okay to upload to the two forums. We prefer to avoid duplicate files whenever possible, but in some cases it's unavoidable.
Dan, I'm running a search right now (Ah, Windows) on our file-submissions database to see when TOON11 made it to our shores. It was uploaded in June to GRAPHSUP 3 (Graphic Viewers) by Michael J. Henderson [74514,47]. It may, of course, have moved since then, especially given that it didn't…
David, I'll pass word along about Premiere. We're testing the Intel Smart Video Recorder and the ATI VideoIT packages, and finding strengths and faults in each. Another program can't hurt.
Snicker. If you do have large uploads, give us fair warning to make sure we have the space.
David, It's my hopes that we can bring on added HoF members to handle animations, yes.
Raymond, But of course. The most popular ZIP unarchiver for MSDOS and Windows platforms is PKZIP, found as PK204G.EXE in the "Compression/UU" library (#11) of our Graphics Support Forum (GO GRAPHSUP). We also have a help file, authored by Bruce Herzog of our staff, which can help you get it…
Leon, Personally, I'm still trying to get a handle on QT myself. The installation on my machine went flawlessly, and I'm trying to nail down specifics on a few problems, including your message of the 28th. If there's any QT experts hanging out in the forum, please speak up. We…
I can get 25 megs a day from CompuServe. Wanna race?
David, You're soaking in it. Check out section 19.
Louise, We have a few such images. GO GRAPHFF and enter the keyword FLAMENCO, or the keywords SPANISH and DANC*, for a listing.
Ask and ye shall receive. Section/library 19 (Modelling) is now open. Dive in and enjoy – especially through the contribution of 3D models in formats which can be used for animation!
George, Please upload to the "New Uploads" library of this forum, not any other. Most libraries here are closed to uploading in order to properly route files through our new-contributions showcase.
Dan, The Graphics File Finder is updated weekly, and does not reflect changes made once it's updated. I split our products last week and opened this forum on Wednesday, so until they deign to update the database it'll be a bit off. My offline database only shows two GIF files…
David, What you're describing is an addition rather than a change. If all that is needed is a repository for 3D models (I assume you mean DXF files and the like) I'm certain we can accomodate you.
