I FTP'd an animation apparently expected to be played by MOVIE, since the animations'a suffix was ".movie". However, MOVIE is unable to play it as are any of the other animation players I've got. They all crap out with the message "illegal op value for delta mode". Anyone got any idea what's going on? The file is DONNA.MOVIE from /incoming/amiga on AB20 (128.155.23.64).

Chris , I'm the person who uploaded the file donna.lzh (which contains donna.movie) to ab20. I dont know why you are having problems with it. When I uploaded it to my account in order to transfer it to ab20 I downloaded it again to see if my upload was correct because I have fairly noisy phone lines. That download was ok so I ftp'ed it to ab20. Maybe the file got munged by the transfer to ab20. I'm using the MOVIE program written for Byte-By-Byte by Eric Graham and it runs fine for me. I'll ftp the file from ab20 and check to see it its ok. You could also check your copy of MOVIE to see if its ok. Maybe a newer version of MOVIE is required. The version I have is dated 1988. I didnt upload it because I thought that it was already on ab20. If the file donna.lzh I ftp'ed to ab20 is corrupted I'll upload it again but it might take awhile as I'm about to lose my account on this machine and another account I managed to get is VMS (ugh!) and I havent been able to figure out its intricacies yet. Also , uploading a 530k file at 2400 baud is a royal pain. I hope all the other files I uploaded to ab20 arent corrupted since most of them are fairly large. The other files I uploaded are SaxonDemo_1.lzh , SaxonDemo_2.lzh , DynaCADD.lzh , GlobulousDemo.lzh. Has anyone else downloaded these files and gotten them to work? It would help me a lot if I knew if those files were ok or not. Scott Corley The address of my new account is spice@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu You might want to send any E-mail to that account instead of this one.

Hey folks, is a NEC 4D useable with an Amiga with the display enhancer and can it be used with the ECS Denise? Can it be used with the A2410 U'Lowell 24-bit graphics board? .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Kriston J.

Heyo, I just found out that DCTV save 24-bit color data in a different form than usual. Instead of being a Digital format like RGB, the information is saved as digital waveforms (samples) of NTSC signal. I read about it in the March edition of Amazing computing. What this means is that the DCTV format files (uncompressed) have no obvious form. Since NTSC is one signal and is decoded into RGB by your TV set, you have to have a NTSC decoder emulator of some sort to to convert DCTV format to 24-bit IFF format. Later

WRONG! DCTV saves in three formats one of which is standard 24bit RGB IFF. You must have misinterpreted the article you read. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com % % ' Image ` ...!{decvax,uunet}!masscomp!mark % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
