From : Theo van Bruggen (Adsoft) (100044,2530) Subj : Intro and Questions about Autodesk Products Date : 29/07/94 Adsoft is a company based in The Netherlands (no we don't walk on wooden shoes) and is owned by a few hundred adverti- sing agencies. For these companies we act like their own computerdepartment. Since one year we build up some networks for applications like Autodesk Animator , 3D-Studio etc… The major difficulties we have is getting to know where and how to get suitable software (like IPAS, 3D-meshes, etc..) and hardware (NTSC/PAL-encoder etc..). For this moment we need urgently compression software for our FLC's and/or WAV software. And is there already software that can combine FLC and WAV-files ? And if so how can we order this products. There might be even a more experienced DUTCH member 3D-studio User who can help us find our ways around. Thanks so far, I'll be back Theo

I've seen ads for a program called Smacker that claims to compress flics to 1/4 to 1/2 their original size. It's by RAD Software, with a Compuserve address 73237,75. It lists for $295.00 USD. I have no idea how well it works, but it might do what you want. When you say "combine FLC and WAV files", do you mean somehow merging into one multi-media file, or just an authoring program that will play them back simultaneously? If the latter, there are a number of programs that will do that, such as MediaBlitz, Compel, Q-Media and so on. Most of them will let you build "shows" that will combine WAV, MIDI, FLICS, bitmaps, and usually some effects like wipes and fades. Good luck…Gary
