In addition to IFX4.1 (latest version), add ImaginePPC
and MainActor. Thats direct rendering using the dctv.lib from
within the gfx app itself, which btw, is by no means required to
use dctv. Obviously if you have the dctv.lib installed, dctv
can load and display the image itself, and any player/show that can
play a standard iff .anim or still also then plays dctv. Which is
all of them.
As usual, the pc crowd that hangs out totally blind here just
doesn't understand the first thing about how Amiga
hardware/software works, so their "research" is a total waste of
everyone's time.

He was also being very kind. With the any app or utility that
supports .iff can be used to display dctv images.

Now, tell me --- how does that enable me to load a DCTV image into

DPaint can display dctv images natively, it displays iffs, right?
Man, you really have -no- idea how any of this works.
Hint: DCTV works with all Amigas, but not UAE. Could that be why
you have no idea how to use it? I wonder...

Steve, I don't want to *display* them. If I wanted to *display* images,
I would start an image *display* program. I started an image *processing*

I still have the dctv.library installed. I also have a couple of DCTV

No, it isn't. If you believe that horizontally mirroring the IFF will
give a mirrored DCTV image, then you are completely ignorant of what the
DCTV does.
If you *don't* believe that that is the way to do it, you have yet to give the
slightest clue as to how you think it can be done in DPaint.
If you don't think it can be done in DPaint, then maybe you should admit
that DPaint does not "support" DCTV images in any meaningful way.

So, Steve --- dctv.library installed, DPaint installed. How do I load
a DCTV image, mirror it horizontally, and save the mirrored image? Surely
that should be possible if DPaint "directly supported" the DCTV format....
And please don't tell me that you already answered this question --- you

Wow, such hostility, such low level of dirt you live in.
Amazing, isn't it?
In all of my wars with you, or anyone else for that matter, I never
stooped to this level of low life, scumbag type flaming, I thought you'd
never too, despite your unsolicited, uncontrolled hostility and violent
mood swings?
When did I insult your mother?
Since you have no respect to God, I imagine that you must hate your own
mother too, so maybe you don't even care if I did that, but regardless I
don't.
Were you molested or abused in your childhood to have such anger and
hostility?
Do you also hear voices in your head?Suffer from paranoia like Tim Rue?
You have lots of things to work on, I can't still believe that I'm
reading and replying to the crap that you spew here, and filled this
newsgroup with, no one, even in all of the worst flame wars that
happened here wished to others to die(excpet form the common and
harmless usenet FOAD flame that most people exchange when flaming each
other), nor insulted the family of the other side, and certainly this
pathetic "your mama" type flame that last I remember reading was back in
1991 perhaps.
From the little encounter that I had the (dis)pleasure of experiencing
with you, I can tell you that you are a violent person, and can easily
go completely out of control, and has yet to mature.
Grow up, and learn to disagree peacefully or walk away from that
discussion, even if you had to flame, don't be cheap, have some self
respect and dignity, and let the others take you seriously not as a
kook.
I can certainly respect an opponent and/or an enemy, if I can see point
that warrants giving him the benefit of doubt, argue and disagree, even
flame sometimes, that is part of the net and usenet activity, no one is
perfect, and no one 100% percent accurate, and always right.
I always admitted when I was wrong even apologized in public or in
private email if I felt that I mistreated a person or made a mistake(I'm
sure that some of your fellow trolls will twist facts trying to prove me
wrong, they will fail and I have the full documentation to prove it),
and yes I had my mistakes and goofing, like everyone else, but never in
my life stooped to this level of insulting and flaming, wishing that
someone needs to die, or insulted his parents.
I suggest that you save some of that energy and invest it in a therapy
of some kind, seek professional help, attend some seminars about social
behavior adjustment and communication skills improvement, you are truly
a bad example for the Amiga community, and certainly a disgrace for a
self claimed programmer.
Most of the time, you have almost 0 idea or background about the people
that you violently flame, and you seem to think that this an IRC
channel, and you can flirt with some and flame others whenever you feel
like it, well I hate to burst your bubble, you are not in IRC.
In fact, you sir, are a God damn pest, and what is usually known on
usenet as a wanker, in addition to being a troll.
And you can read about the definitions of the above in your favorite
usenet dictionary and apply them towards your posts and see if you can
prove me wrong.
That's it, I can certainly stand most of your flames, but when it comes
to reading such juvenile and low level insulting, sorry, I have 0
tolerance for that, and gave you the time to reread what you wrote and
rethink what are you doing, but unfortunately you showed no remorse for
your actions and offence.
I expect a public apology for the above, or I will simply continue to
expose your inner evil carvings for juvenile insulting.
Take that as a threat or friendly advice, I really don't care.
I've lost my patience, and I think it;s time that someone puts you out
of your misery and teaches you a lesson in life, manners and logic.
And no I will not accept any emails regarding this from you, just as an
advance warning, since your offence was in public, I expect a public
explanation.
Thank you for anyone who read so far, yourself included.
Have a great day/night, despite yourself.

Poor Senator, can't you simply admit that you never used any of the
above and never had a clue?
DCTV picture and animations automatically are displayed and played back
in DPaint, but you just can't edit them, there was some rumor that
someone posted some hack to enable that, but never seen that, and even
if I did, I will treat that just like the infamous SoftAGA hoax.
Anyway, I know it does sound weird, but maybe the fact that the DCTV
file format is just plain 2 Bit or 4 Bit High -Res image as far as the
OS and the non DCTV supporting applications, makes that possible.
Now the other part of the question is, did you buy DPaint?Is that a
legal copy?

Of course, I just explained to him why that happens, wanna bet that he
will try his best to either:
1. Twist what I said to find some hole in it.
2. Argue facts and then slam both of us accusing us of not knowing what
we used.
3. Both.
He did that in the past, his Video Toaster and Final Writer disasters
were laughable everytime I remember that.

One reply is enough, and has it ever occured that i might not have those
links handy? Yes, they're easy to find on AmigaRescource, but if i were to
claim that eg exec supported PPC natively (wich it doesn't) you would expect
me to prove that, right?

In other words, you agree that DPaint has absolutely no DCTV support.
If the DCTV never existed, not a single byte in DPaint would be any
different.

The astute reader might keep the following line from the header of

It will become relevant very soon.
>Oops! ;-)
Oops indeed --- I actually meant to (and originally did) talk about *P*Paint
(which comes from the obvious source). Due to the very similar names (and
due to the fact that I use neither), at some point in the thread my mind
got confuzzled (nope, that's not in Webster's). I don't have a copy of
*D*Paint, but rather of *P*Paint --- although a demo version is available
from http://www.aminet.net/pub/aminet/biz/demo/DPaintV.lha, of course.
But due to that mishap, and your frank admission about *D*Paint, we now
know that both DPaint and PPaint seem to be lacking any DCTV "support".
I am starting to wonder what "most major Amiga gfx apps" (from
<39B928C9.MD...@spamfree.wf.net>) refers to, if it excludes
both PPaint and Dpaint...

Will I ever get an answer, Steve? I mean, a gfx processor that "supports"
a file format should really be able to mirror images in that format
horizontally, shouldn't it? Heck, xv can do that, and it doesn't even
claim to be anything more than an image viewer.

AFAIR DCTV images are ILBMs, so simply loading them into DPaint
isn't a problem, but of course it will look like a mess on
the DPaint screen.
However, check out:
http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet/gfx/board/dctv-dpa.lha
It contains a few examples on how to, with some work, use
DCTV images in, for instance, DPaint.

Even if the output is properly decoded, it will become a mess as soon as
most types of editing are done.

Correct, DPaint displays iffs, which is all that is required to
display/show/play DCTV images and animations. Exactly what I just
got finished telling you, and you erroneaously decided to argue
with... big mistake, again.

Read what you snipped for the answers to your questions.

So basically what you're saying is that DPaint can display the
DCTV-encoded IFF images and animations, but can't edit them. Why would
you use DPaint for this, when there are so many better players with less
overhead?

No, thats what I -said-, not what I'm saying. Which Bernie argued
with, right up to the point he realized that he had no idea what he
was talking about, again.

That's right, Steve, snip away the context that shows that I was saying

Bernie knew what he was talking about all along. YOU are the fool who
tried to slip by the LIE that DPaint was DCTV compatible. The real
truth of the matter is that all DPaint can do with a DCTV image is
passively display it. Almost any editing commands will turn the image
into garbage, as far as DCTV decoding is concerned.
