I, also have no objection to copyright laws: indeed, they are there to protect us from people pinching our work. The things I object to are as follows: 1. The concept behind copyright is to make sure the copyright holder profits from their work. 1.1. If the copyright holder is not making further

As the one who started this thread, I just wanted to say I agree wholeheartedly with Richard in his attitude to copyright works. My own problem arose (long ago) when in Richard’s words, I tried to reach the creator (strictly speaking the copyright owner, as the work includes copyright material f

Thank you for the mention, Jeff. Without your adding that here I would have missed Richmond's reference; he's among a small number of members I generally don't read anymore (so much to learn, so little signal in a noisy world...) FWIW I agree with what you wrote, and felt it was important enou

Richmond, And I’ll be right there with Richard. Just because it’s not being supported does not remove copyrights. You know that’s a stupid argument. Maybe fine with your own morals but it’s not how copyright works. As a content creator for over 4 decades of my professional life I really hate t

Re: Reviving CD-ROM material [was: Re: Livecode and interactive video]

Graham, Having created a bunch of commercial interactive cdroms back in those days of early commercial interactivity, I can say they can be a challenge to mine all the necessary content from them and determine the whole flow chart of content and interactivity. I did this a few times on my own p

Re: Reviving CD-ROM material [was: Re: Livecode and interactive video]

Between Feb 1992 when I moved to the US, and May 1995, most of the floppy disks and CD-ROMs I programmed were done in HyperCard. Any of those would be easy enough to hack. I had been doing the Mac version, and other companies would do the PC version. From May 1995, being cross platform right awa

Re: Reviving CD-ROM material [was: Re: Livecode and interactive video]

I have a good dozen CD-ROMs which my boys got a lot of mileage out of when we stayed in the UAE. The first thing to do is to extract all the media - and this can be a right-pain-in-the-bum as quite a lot of these CDs were authored using MacroMedia products where the media are embedded in a way

Reviving CD-ROM material [was: Re: Livecode and interactive video]

I know I’m old enough to be the father of the average LiveCoder, and maybe the grandfather of quite a few, so I clearly remember CD-ROMs. I had a favourite cross-platform one which contains some very attractive material, and I have often thought of reviving the contents using either an LC standa

Re: Livecode and interactive video

I doubt that will work. Once you have converted it into a video, it’s just a video. You want to have a video with HTML5 button overlays. You will probably have to use Javascript for jumping to the various points in the video. Let us know what finally works for you. Cheers, Rick > On Jan 21,

Hi Rick, Thank you for your answer. That was actually my very first option, but it remains the most simple one. I am now exploring a new option : generate an HTML5 animation and then convert it to a video format. I'm just wondering if hotspots (mostly to offer viewers options for branching to dif

You could probably do it on your own website with LiveCode server. It would not work with YouTube though. You might however be able to publish an optional link to your interactive video on YouTube just below a video you have posted. You could say something like: To try the interactive version o

Boy that video was a perfect example of giving away free information in order to highlight your brand. Very well done. I think in general you could probably do something like this in HTML5 and the new web browser technology (caveat: which I have not looked into yet but sounds like it might fit t
