Rodney, IfftoDCTV will convert all the images with the same extention to DCTV
iff's. The command is EXECUTE SPAT IFFTODCTV DH0:RODNEY??? -D3 -ORAM: This
will take all the 24bit iff's that Lightwave produces ie…Rodney001,
Rodney002…etc. and convert them to Rondey001.dctv etc…in RAM or whatever
directory you wish. I've found that the 3 bitplanes (-d3) as opposed to 4
bitplanes -d4 makes a HUGE difference in the playback speeds of the animation
with very little loss in image quality. Then simply use an animation building
program such as Viewtek to assemble the DCTV pics to an anim5 or anim7 and
you're ready to lay down to tape directly from the video out on the DCTV.
