Title: Movie Shop Data to Mac
Post by: amigaandi on February 08, 2011, 12:28:08 AM: Hi!

I found a couple of CDs with video Data files I recorded with Movie Shop with my Amiga on my V-Lab Motion from about 10 years ago. Is there any way to convert these files to my mac? Any modern day file format would work. Even single image jpg. Any Idea how to get this done?

Much appreciated!

Andi

The files that I have are in the same presumable "raw" format that MovieShop stored on the hard drive. Simply renaming the file into something.mpg does not do the trick. Trying to recognize the format using "file" in the terminal only generates the output "data". Any more ideas?

Maybe ImageFX can import MovieShop clips?

I'm guessing you don't have access to a real Amiga anymore? There's Scene-Handler (http://aminet.net/package/gfx/conv/Scene-Handler) for accessing MoveShop partitions. You might be able to fake a partition with WinUAE. Try writing your raw files to an emulated partition with the dcp tool from this (http://aminet.net/package/misc/emu/bffs) package (analogous to the Unix world's dd command), then using Scene-Handler.
