Comment on A script for rotating digital camera videos! by Rowan

Well, if by “not writing anything” you mean “writing something in Squeak” – unless the JPEGMovieFile class already has a “rotate video by 90 degrees” method, which seems unlikely.

Could be an interesting avenue to explore though, I’ll have to see if it can read my files, particularly that tricky audio track…

Hi Ron,

You do realize that Squeak has full support for hacking M-JPEGS?

So you wouldn’t even have to write anything if you were being lazy. It also shows you how to interface between the JPEGs underneath and how to get at them, it shows that there is a header that describes the motion-ness of the set of JPEGs to come (= a pseudo folder).

See:

“A JPEG movie file consists of a header followed by a sequence of JPEG-compressed images followed by one or more sound tracks. It responds to a subset of the protocol for MPEGFile so that a JPEG movie can be played by MPEGDisplayMorph as if it were an MPEG movie.
”

Well, I obviously can’t guarantee it 100%, but I certainly intend to keep URLs on this domain permanent, so these should remain available (and updated as necessary) “for the foreseeable future”.

Glad to be of service! :)

Great – been looking for a bank holiday only calendar. Is this likely to go offline in the future?

Cheers

Comment on New Mozart, Old Hat? by MacOS

Quite right… Mozart wrote a lot. Too much of it is published in my opinion, as amongst the sublime there is durge.

If this is another Fantasia in D minor it would be better for everyone, including the memory of the maestro, if it remained in the attic. If it’s another Ave Verum Corpus, let’s hear it.

Ah “lenny”, I thought there was one more recent than “etch”. Apparently, the next one’s “squeeze”…

How odd that you couldn’t get to the site the first time!
