Console Renderer

2007-08-24 Thread Arrav
The discussion about the Video Codecs reminded me of some Software that
Renders certain movie files so they are viewable as either ASCII or ANSI
(in real time). I loved that program, any one knows of it's name?

Any video player that can render to libaa or libcaca (as mentioned) can
do this. For example, try
mplayer -vo aa movie
or
mplayer -vo caca movie

Its rather useless unless you have a really high line count on your text
console (or text window, if you're using X), and I much prefer libaa
over libcaca - although its monochoromatic, its much less noisy.
