Re: [ql-users] Haven't seen the sun in a while...!
Hi all, Steve is scared witless he is going to die at the crabfest. I think his Mum told him there are certain parts of a crab that are dangerous to eat First I heard of it, I;m sure shes mixing it up with blowfish (which I did try.) Anyway, once me and Him commence shoveling the rest will be lucky to get a look in, ever seen two fat guys in glasses demolish 3,000 crabs a second??

Actually when the GF will be hopefully available, its onboard DSP will be able to deal with tasks like that IIRC the specs Nasta released. Realtime MPEG2 decoders/encoders exist currently and I really see no reason why a QL-based system could serve as one and yes that wouild sell nice (another good Idea would be a QL used as an mp3 decoder in a car :-) (We will need a shrinked enough QL system, probably equipped with one of these new Coldfire chips though ;-) Phoebus
Re: [ql-users] Haven't seen the sun in a while...!
Hi Phoebus. Well, the plan at the moment is to complete Manchester's DVD in time for Washington, and produce a second DVD with material shot in Washington. I'll discuss the possibilities with him re. using your material and we'll see how it goes, so thanks for offering. Shame you won't be around in a few weeks - would have been nice to say hello in person.

RE: [ql-users] Haven't seen the sun in a while...!
Hi Norman. I'm using a Mac PowerBook G4 and while it's pretty nippy, I've still had to wait 25 minutes for a 2-minute piece to render broadcast-safe colour correction. Still at least now the MPEG encoder won't spit at it when I encode it for authoring. The material's all Apple Quicktime DV - no AVIs or redigitising needed here, though I am rapidly running out of disk space. You never know... maybe once the Q200 comes along I can throw away this Apple stuff ;) Any takers for developing a QL(or derivative)-based real-time MPEG2 encoder...??? WHEN it works, you'll get a lot of sales - especially in the States. I know, I know - probably pushing things a bit far, but it was only in Manchester that I was discussing alternative applications for the Q60 with the D & D boys. Maybe this could be one.? The question however, that you'll all be tearing your hair out over when you see the footage, is if we're all at a Chinese restaurant, then why isn't there any food on the table?

RE: [ql-users] Haven't seen the sun in a while...!
Hi Steve, That video rendering takes ages doesn't it ? I once rendered a bungee jump for a friend - only about 10 mins of video, it took about 4 hours to render down to an AVI, and then it woudn't run on my friends PV because it wasn't rendered with a 'standard' codec. Cost me a blank CD as well that did. My ATI graphics card added some decent codecs to my PC - and I used one of those and tested it, of course it worked fine on my PC :o) Oh Hum. Maybe it's just as well we can't do video rendering on a QL (or can we ..) yet ?

Hi folks. I know I don't send often, but I'm waiting for a long video render and thought I'd pipe up. I haven't seen the sun in a while - busy editing video for the upcoming QL 2002 DVD, which I hope to have finished in time for NESQLUG next month. I'm working on the AGM's Chinese meal footage at the moment, and the colour correction's what's rendering. It may not be a crab fest (though I'm sure there was some seafood in there somewhere) but it's making a nice musical interlude. Phoebus - DB tells me you've been to these things before, so any idea what time the crab fest will start on Sunday 2nd June? Just wanted to say you're not the only ones around today.
