RE: lingo-l Digital Video Question

Avi is not really a specific format, it depends 100% on the codec you use... If you want to play safe, you can use cinepak or one of the older indeo formats (but they suck in this day and age) I'm not sure if indeo 5.x works standard on 98... it does if they have a +- recent version of

Re: lingo-l Digital Video Question

An AVI will work fine on Windows with no additional installations or Xtras to buy. Cinepak is the universal codec to use if you do choose to go with AVI, but be forewarned, the quality is pretty poor compared with newer formats codecs. The one thing on your side is that Cinepak plays back

Hi Brad... Thanks for responding. As half of what I'm doing is going to be distributed to Europe, and they format the date differently from the US (my system), will temporarily changing the itemDelimiter do anything to screw up either-side-of-the-Atlantic systems regarding date? For instance,

More tips for mpg. Form testing on fairly ancient machines use mpg at 352 x 288 as this is the standard windows mpg1 format, every other size was prone to tearing/artifacts under test data rate about 1800 ish (cant remember the units but your compressor will be similar I expect) whatever size

baSystemTime...was lingo-l The long date

Thanks, Brad, for the Buddy API tip. It was right in front of me all this time. Anyone on the list know if baSystemTime works reliably the same no matter what country you are in, and, in Windows at least, no matter how the computer's date is formatted? Like MM/DD/ or /DD/MM, etc?
