Movie Mapper is a small program for indexing movie collections. It browses given directory trees, searching for text files that contain IMDB URLs.

XMovie was originally written as a simple, fast method to play uncompressed movies with stereo sound back when the only uncompressed movie player was xanim and the only MPEG player was MTV.

XAnim didnt play stereo sound and MTV was a $15 shareware. Hard to believe how todays applications toss movies around like nothing when just 4 years ago it was an ordeal just to play an MPEG stream.

XMovie is mainly intended for uncompressed movie playback, nonstandard output from Cinelerra, and testing decoder libraries.

Its not intended for low resolution, low bitrate internet downloads. Your luck will improve with something like M Player

6 channels of audio can be sent to a soundcard supporting 6 channel audio. More importantly, HDTV program and ATSC transport streams play back.

These streams are usually obtained through a capture board like the WinTV HD, set top box hacking, or other means. Forget about downloading HDTV moviez from the internet.

jasciimovie plays ASCII movies - sequences of digitized video converted into an ASCII representation - in a webbrowser via Java.

An ascii-movie is a plain text file of screens seperated by escape codes for clearing the screen (in hex notation 1B 5B 48 1B 5B 4A).

These ascii-movies can get produced by the asciivideo sample program that is
included with the "libbgrab" package by me.

The movie files have to be compressed with "gzip -9" which saves incredible
amounts of space.

Compilation and Usage:

- Prerequisites: JDK 1.1.x+ installed and in the path
- To compile type: make
- To test: fire up a java-capable browser with the file jasciimovie.html

See the file jasciimovie.html for how to incorporate the applet in your webpage.

Configurable parameters are: the filename (the movie file must be in the same directory as the .html file), the fontsize (usable are 8,10,12,14), a flag of the movies gets repeated at the end, the frame rate and the colors.

The program tries to center the ascii-movie within the applet.

A copyright message is beeing displayed for 2 seconds at the beginning of playback.

A sample movie (cfilm.txt.gz) is included - look at the file also with "zless cfilm.txt.gz" to see the individual frames.

Keep the image files
