Old dos demo(s) that still need a winport or videocaptures.

xernobyl: Interlacing is necessary because there isn't enough bandwidth available in an HD over-the-air signal to do 1080p at anything over 30fps. If you want to watch football at the full 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC) frames per second, interlacing is still unfortunately necessary. It's messy, but I'd rather have the option than be limited to 720p at that framerate.

Who wants to watch football when there's pr0n on tv? O_o

Don't you think that 1280x720@60Hz is enough? You had 640x240@60Hz until 3 years ago!

As someone who has scrutinized 720p @ 60 and 1080i @ 60 in great detail, 1080i gives you more resolution in still scenes, and it's fairly obvious when looking at it. Whether or not what you're watching actually uses that is up to you :-)

I'm not saying it's great for all things (obviously nobody should watch a film in an interlaced transport); I'm just saying it still has its uses. Don't blame me, blame the standards committees who didn't give enough bandwidth to HDTV :-)

although usually the bandwidth for over-the-air HD signals is too low even for 1080i. (especially with mpeg-2)

Depends on the source material. I've only noticed blocking in close-up fast-moving shots.

It's on hold while I work on my Block Party presentation this week... which I'm planning to have a good capture of Crystal Dream at the bare minimum since DOSBOX has such a problem with it. I was also planning on showing a 100% rendered version of Toast as the author wanted it (he provided a rendering version but we couldn't fit it into MC1). Finally, I was going to show a tweakmode demo; any specific requests?

For tweakmode I think you wanted a recapture of Camorra, right?

And yes, I'll be uploading all of these to wurst for you to molest at your leisure :)
added on the 2008-03-31 07:48:29 by trixter trixter
Awesome! Camorra would be nice to have. There are some more demos on my queue page that use fake truecolor.
About the upload. I don't know if I can provide you with a directory where you can upload things. At least I tried and failed to make it work... I'll as scamp about it. Maybe you could contact me via email (MYHANDLE @ untergrund.net) so I can give you the details later on.

And go have some fun @ block party! :)

Thanks ;) Don't worry about upload mechanics; I'll put them on my site and you can download them from there.

Email me @ trixter oldskool.org after Block Party to work out details.

quad - focus

it needs univbe
Anyone else tried to run the space pigs - megademo in Dosbox?

I keep getting the same "Some of the files are screwed up, please get a new copy"

I really miss my mindcandy dvd.

Deus: We still have some available, you know ;-)

I think rarefluid and micksam will really enjoy my talk, it's pretty much a how-to on how to make your own mindcandy dvd (the video capture part, anyway)
added on the 2008-04-01 21:18:20 by trixter trixter
Trixter: will do.
and do you make your talk available as a video? would be sweet.

Not a dos demo, but I'd love a vid capture of virtual dreams absolute inebriation from the amiga!!

Totally and completely forgot to post a link to my talk, sorry:

If you're interested in capturing DOS demos and DOSBOX isn't working for you, maybe the talk will help.

maali: You should be able to run it in DosBox, more or less.

trixter: hello! I wonder.. did or do you have a good capture of Crystal Dream by Triton and will it be released on the new Mindcandy DVD? Camorra would be über-nice too. :)
