DCTV and CD32/SX32 ......What the heck?

[mr_a500]

Also what software can I use to convert images into DCTV ones?

I use JPEGonDCTV (with button on ABCdir) to quickly display JPG. This doesn't work with progressive JPGs. So to quickly convert progressive->regular jpg, I use jpegtool (another ABCdir button). JPEGonDCTV will scale large images to fit on the screen.

ImageFX is awesome because you can load any image format and render directly to DCTV - then save rendered image as ILBM (DCTV format). Remember: DCTV is only in Hires and Hires Laced, so for huge JPGs you should crop or resize to this size before rendering. If you don't crop, I think ImageFX will render the Hires Laced size starting at the top left and crop the rest.

With GIFs, you'll have to change colour format to RGB before rendering.

is there a way or a program that can batch convert a bunch of files in one go? I want to convert animation frames, then recompile the animation as a DCTV one. I dont want to have to convert each individual frame by hand to a DCTV frame.

I'm sure there's a way, but I haven't figured it out yet. I wanted to convert some 24-bit animations to DCTV too. I couldn't find the batch convert and gave up trying to convert because frame by frame is very tedious.

I'd like to know because DCTV animations would be much faster than 24-bit IFF animations - each DCTV IFF is around 90K while 24-bit IFF is around 700K.

If you make any nice DCTV animations, let me know.
