There was, I think, a version of Scala Multimedia (a presentation program) for CDTV, which might run on plain-vanilla CD-ROM drives if you can find it. Almathera sells Video Creator, which is hard to describe but lets you do music-video type funky stuff to incoming/outgoing video. But it's a CD32 disc and may not run on a plain-vanilla drive. Another CD-ROM Amiga disc (from a British outfit) lets you develop multimedia applications that can later be saved off to hard drive for mastering onto CD-ROM. There's also a basic genlock program that comes on CDTV disc with the CDTV genlock, which would be useless to you except that a couple of places are now clearing out the bundle for $25, so maybe the disc itself would be useful. The Knowledge Media Multimedia disc includes a free copy of VIVA, a commercial multimedia authoring program for the Amiga. Safe Harbor was selling that one. It's a plain vanilla CD-ROM that also has executables for other computer platforms plus images, sounds, etc. Good deal.

Hello, >> Almathera sells Video Creator, which is hard to describe but lets you do music-video type funky stuff to incoming/outgoing video. But it's a CD32 disc and may not run on a plain-vanilla drive. << Just for your information: Video Creator runs on any A1200 or A4000 with any IDE-ATAPI or SCSI-II CD-Rom with CacheCDFS. Oliver

Hey, thanks for letting me know! I'll file that tidbit for the day I get a SCSI-2 CD-ROM setup, if ever. Then again, maybe Video Creator will work on a lesser rig with AsimCDFS 3.0, if that ever gets delivered. — via Amiga AUTOPILOT vers. 1.78 [the only way to fly]

I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about the status of AsimCDFS 3.0. Last I heard over a month ago was that they were just waiting for the manuals. Anyone else heard anything about 3.0 and when it might actually start shipping? // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

Finally got tired of waiting and called AsimWare today. A sales person told me they're shipping AsimCDFS 3.0 the end of next week. Let's wait and see. — from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, via Amiga AUTOPILOT v1.78 [the only way to fly cyberspace]

Funny, they told me exactly the same thing about 2 months ago. Hank

Thanks Ron for the info about AsimCDFS 3.0. Yep, we will find our soon enough if it is one of those RSN ploys <g>. // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net
