recommendations for video in ToolBook
Simon Price
people are using for video in ToolBook.
My requirements are:
1. It works in the normal stage object.
2. That I can use the built-in openscript commands like mmPlay, mmStop,
etc. (I have a lot of stable code built around these that I'd like to
reuse).
3. Good compression and good quality for talking heads at 320x200-ish size.
4. Works on all versions of Windows (even the prehistoric ones)
I've frequently used Indeo 5.1 in the past so that's my current baseline.
Thanks in advance.
Simon

we've recently used .AVI file formats with Indeo. We experimented with
some other file types to reduce size but the trade off was quality and
compatibility across system requirements. Consequently, I think your
best bet will be .AVI.
Yours,
Philip

I use *.AVI with indeo 5.1. under Toolbook 6.5 - but not with mmplay...
but with MCI Commands. Runs pretty well on ME, NT4 and XP - also in a
Network. The Compression allows me to put a cbt with abaout 30 minutes
video on a C D.

The AVI format works well with your requirments .... have you had a look at the DivX codec for compressing yopur video matrial ....

I don't do much video work nowadays so I thought I'd check to see what
people are using for video in ToolBook.

is what people are using for this sort of app.
Anyone using anything else (or are there any to steer clear of!)?
Cheers

their machines in order to view the video. Individual users can download the
CODEC for personal use, but when you're in a corporate environment, it's not
free. I would definitely review the licensing restrictions before you
proceed along these lines. Don't get me wrong, DivX does a great job of
producing an AVI file that is of small file size, but good quality. Just be
careful about the licensing.

Hi Bryan,
This is Kenny from Kangan Institute (former known as Kangan Batman TAFE). Max Richings has retired and we lost contact with him, so we have zero knowledge of the license status of his Toolbook software. Our teachers really need the software installed on many more computers but we are nervous of any new installation as we don't know if this would violate any license restriction. We would highly appreciate if you could help us out.
Thanks,
Kenny
