If you want a time machine, try asking SpaceDruid! But I'm not sure if he's registered here?

P.S. My personal preference is not JIT or your solution, but a more higher-level kind of JIT that some have called "dynamic compilation". But while we are stuck with awful languages like C/C++, there's precious little chance of that. Scripting languages are the only alternative (to C/C++) that get's taken seriously, and nobody there seems to care about their awful (interpreted) performance. (Well, except for OCAML, which is apparently faster than C/C++, but it's a functional language, and no-one takes them seriously either.)

Played with last night and it worked nice. Great program! I don't know anything about movies or it's software. Thanks!

Yeh, me! :)

MindSpace .97a - registered:

tools > "i" or diagram properties
Of the Info, Page, and Object tabs, the Object Tab doesn't work:
Line color, line weight, font, and Label Colors don't accept changes.

tools >"magnifier"
zoom out and zoom in boundries get lost and memory get eaten up.

@ktadd

way to go ktadder!... good work!
what's next on your to-do list? =)

@MikeB

Thumbs up. We need more platforms.

As to your charts, we are way past "launch" time. XBox 360 is the machine with the games on the shelves here in the US and the system people are talking about.

That said though I'd buy a PS3 to be my Amiga.

Not related to the court case...

Start a new thread in "Too hot to Handle' if you want to discuss the Cit of Kent topic thanks.

Well you are getting on a bit
I'm not going to worry about it - if there's one thing I've learnt after the past few months I have endured, is to let things run their course - if you can do something about it, do it and worry about it, if you can't, don't beat yourself up about it.

I know that you have tried to do stuff to assist and settle this amicably, i.e. suggestions that could be put to both parties and the petition and for that I take my hat off to you, even though I may not have agreed with it.

Whatever happens, the courts will decide this and its (always been) out of our control..

Whoever wins will need to make damn sure they win the trust and support of the users and potential buyers if AOS is to have any kind of future.

Rude!

Just had a quick play with mencoder

DVD_VR:VIDEO_TS> mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -srate 44100 -af lavcresample=44100 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:keyint=15:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_minrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:vrc_maxrate=9800:acodec=mp3:abitrate=128 -o Ram:Test.mpg VTS_01_5.VOB

the 15 value is for PAL
replace with 18 for NTSC

@ktadd

nope ffmpeg cannot decode one of the streams as its doesn't have a codec for it.

Amigasoft maybe able to help or comment if there is a new version with updated codecs ?

You could try mencoder
http://www.os4depot.net/share/video/edit/mencoder.lha

Full manual and guide for it use including options can be found here:-

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html

DVplayer should be able to play VOB files.

http://www.os4depot.net/share/video/play/dvplayer-demo.lha
http://www.os4depot.net/share/video/misc/avcodec_lib.lha
http://www.os4depot.net/share/audio/misc/a52_lib.lha

Cant remember if its that works in the demo version but its well worth registering DVplayer.

You can go then pause the video and grab the required screen using sgrab

Thanks but when I do that I get a bunch of information
about the audio and video in the source file but then
the whole thing ends with the following error:

"Unsupported codec (id=86020) for input stream #0.1"


The VOB file is from my Sony DVD camcorder. Is there a
way to make ffmpeg try to force the conversion?

@ssolie

Back to the tea leafs for me.

REBOL does have the potential for an OS5 type solution.

TAO was also a good approach.

A mix of the two would also work.

Using a severely cut down version of OS4, ported, is an ideal low overhead platform.

I do think this last one is within the ambit of AI plans for OS5 (or whatever it ends up being called).

Static ports of an OS and then all and every program written for the OS, is a possibility, but not one without inherent problems. If it is distributed, that is user compiled apps, it could be done, but not without encryption protection of the app code. Centralised porting could produce bottlenecks as well as a distribution nightmare.

Are there other alternatives, for cross platform performance?

The REBOL approach I like for a number of reasons besides portability. Scripting can really reduce bloat to a major degree, it also lends itself to adaption, application evolution, task oriented program use, more user control of application behaviour and better generalised compiled plugin/engines that can be more easily and quickly be ported.

The waiting is getting on my nerves, especially this court case which can only really end in one way, besides which given PS3 and the VISTA disaster this is the year to really move. Anyone got a time machine? I would love to jump ahead a few months.

@ktadd

YES

ffmpeg on os4depot.

try

ffmpeg -i video.vob output.mpg

@ktadd

Thank you very much !

mmmmmmmmmmmm, Chocolate Gataux!

Hi @bean

OK, thanks for that. Wasn't reading that closely!
Looking forward to upate!

@bean

What? you don't like Chocolate Gataux?
