That is just for simple cut. For complex manipulation, i.e. video software stabilizer shot, color manipulation, it will take ages. I mean the time is counted as days to process now, we are lucky not count as years. ;-) Regards Leigh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Neven MacEwan Sent: Friday, 18 November 2005 10:19 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] Delphi User Group Phil I'm not a MatLab expert but from what I've been told the code it generates is pretty good, I'm just surprised that for the scientific stuff there aren't code generators for this I'm sure thats the way multimedia will go, My brother owns a video production place and all their DVE is virtually in real time now (down from a frame a minute not that many years ago) The other NW story I like was when asked how you pronounced his name the germanic "vurth" or anglicised "worth" he replied "it depends if you are calling me by reference or value" Neven Phil Scadden wrote: >>I think you are in a tight loop, If you want all out speed then >>Assembler or C are your best choice or alternatively a Code Generator >>which generates C (ie C++) Talking to my F1 freinds they use MatLab >>exclusively for control stuff > > > Or fortran.
