I'm no 'multimedia' (gag) professional, I've been reading a thread about uploaded AVI videos in another forum. Although I have no idea what the AVI format is, they're talking about slowing things down on a MAC or PC to 10 frames per second so it's useable. That sounds a bit lame to me. Any comments?

On the higher end Macs & PeeCees you can get more than 10fps (up to 30) but most machines can only go as high as 15fps. (160×120 to 320×240) It's lame compared to the Amiga but Macs & PCs don't always have video coprocessors and have a higher overhead for the OS. Also, if the final video is on CD there are the limitations of the CD data-rate.

Andrew, I, obviously, realize the coprocessors help the Amiga out. I just didn't have the numbers. Thanks. Robb

Robb, I don't remember exactly what I said but I hope I didn't insult you. I'd be interested if you do get the numbers. Andrew ICAM — ActiveMedia Development / IICS "InforMedia" Newsletter Editor Gliding in from Toronto on AutoPilot…
