Re: mpeg

Mitchell Spector (spector@vax2.concordia.ca) screamed from comp.sys.apple2:

: Second Sight, MPEG video could be displayed directly? If not, the other 
: solution is an MPEG->PaintWorks $C1 convertor, then all you'd need is a 
: stock Apple IIgs with lots of available RAM (decompressed images saved as
: PaintWorks animations would be quite large).

Well, let's put it this way, I once took a ~3 meg, ~3 minute MPEG, saved
32 sequential frames, converted them to 8 bit grayscale GIFs, pieced
them together into a $C2 animation at 1 tick/sec getting roughly a 1
sec animation, and it was about 450k.
It's just possible that we may need a new animation format. (What ever
happened to GSMovie?)  >:)
