Ron,
Thanks for your response.
I figured that AVPro would be acceptable because, afterall, it was
developed for that. I've seen some impressive presentations done with it
(usually on '030s) but I was I was wondering if the quality would be
acceptable on the lowly CD32 ('020 & only 2 megs). I was also concerned
about the complexity of the applications: does performance suffer as
complexity increases? Are hypertext links a special feature to AVPro (as
with Helm) or simply buttons with Hilited text. Oh, also will the Pro
verion read 1.5 version files? (So many questions, so little processing
power 8^), here's some more…)
Is Scala capable of being distrubuted? I understood that there was no
freely (or otherwise) distributable runtime player. Do they now have one?
Also, can one create complex applications with Scala?
One further question, if you don't mind please, the client who I am trying
to get information for wants some form of full motion video (quarter
screen is fine.) How good are 1200s or cd32 at doing that?
Thanks for your time.
Andrew
