Cornica comeback - Video entertainment for MacOS users
Philgood:
I watched some commercials on my os9 1Ghz titanium. Working great. Some wouldn't load can't remember which one. Will try again and report back.
Bolkonskij:
Thanks for trying out and the feedback everyone! I've experimented really quite some time to find the best settings for the videos to work on both 68k and PowerPC, I'm not sure this is the perfect solution but the best I could come up with to run on almost all Macs.
@ovalking - Thanks for testing on original hardware! I've only tested it on my 8600/200 so far, so I'm really interested in all reports from people testing it on older hardware.
I wonder if anyone of you has a Mac with a 030 or 040 CPU and would try ? I know these people will be a minority but I still want to support them if possible. The Quadras or Centris are lovely machines.
@philgood - thanks for the feedback! All videos but two old small ones (the Quadra ad and Sculley interview) are exported to quickly start streaming. But those two are so small in size that it's only like 5-10 seconds before they are completly loaded.
If you remember the names of the videos that wouldn't start, please let me know and I'll check. As a rule of thumb you're always better off simply downloading and running the videos locally - 90s style ;-)
@DieHard - thanks (again) for the kind words! I believe there is still so much potential left in our machines if only we'd unearth more of it. Look at the amazing things the Amiga people do with their inferior machines / OS ;-)
Philgood:
I forgot to mention...I'm using classilla as browser.
Using classilla when clicked on the videos they would immediately begin to stream, so it was very convenient. The two videos that were not working would show a progression bar loading but finally appear as broken.
I'm sorry can't really get back to it until this night.

Holy Cow! ;D ;D

Don't normally visit the web with this machine, but just tried some small videos on a Performa 475 / Sys 7.5.5 / Netscape 4.08 / QT 2.5 and it does work!
Wuff.mov was an exception that did not play after it downloaded though.
Still using the 475 to post this message...
