Over 14 hours since OP .....

So much for that ;(
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

The whole puzzle riddle thing introduced by the x1000 announcement is getting old. Wasn't the last DiscreteFX riddle tied to the release of an upgrade or something?

Relax guys, the comic is not done yet. It's coming soon, you don't have to buy joysticks or anything.

Still haven't a clue as to what this thread is about... :confused:

Anyone care to explain to a dummy like me what I'm supposed to be trying to figure out or solve here... :)

Video Toaster (12 letters).
?- port to x1000 with xcore replacing the VT HW
?- VT HW implementation in SW emulation
?- low cost VT HW reimplementation for xorro slot
?- bounty to finance VT5 porting
?- support for TCXD850 and/or XD300


btw. when is the end of the 12 hour timer? Two more weeks (tm)?
The standby youtube video is now 17 hours old?


Haha, two more weeks not this time. While you were not 100% correct you did get most of it right so the backer of the bounty will add $100 on your behalf. Yes, that's right if this bounty fails you will get $200 back December 2012.

That's great news. Basically the Video Toaster Flyer was a non linear editor that took the video toaster 4 input switcher and added AB roll non linear video editing and video capture. The bountya pays $12000 and has a 2 year deadline. So in 2012 the Video Toaster flyer will be ported to FPGA.
Appliactions:
Zorro Toaster flyer in one card
A1200 slot video toaster flyer
MiniMig style video toaster flyer
Flyer FPGA add on for x1000

The toaster is (AFAIK) NTSC-only, noone in civilized countries ever used NTSC (/runs) and everybody else stopped useing it some time ago.

So unless I'm missing something relevant to today's high-def TV-standard I'd say it's rather pointless.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
