Video: An introduction to Commodore Amiga

[djkoelkast]

Hi all,

I found a real cool video, it is a demonstrational video for the Commodore Amiga and some of its applications.
Never seen this before but specially for you guys I uploaded it to my own webserver to see it, it really rocks!

Please use right mouse > save target as... in stead of looking to it streaming, the file is 20mb (to save bandwith)

http://www.ad-it.nl/amiga.wmv

Please let me know how you think about this really cool and what I think unique video

The video is 15 minutes in length so sit back and enjoy!

I will try to, I did it in wmv because it is the smallest option but indeed not Amiga proof.
Keep looking for an update, I'll try it today.

really cool video! please try an encode it at higher quality

Brings back some old memories from the 80's when I was king with my A500

well the quality of the original is not the best possible and I didn't want to make the file too big. In MPEG the file will be at least 65 megabytes (!)
Not really a problem as it is my own server at home, but I only have a 0,5mbit upload so when lot of people download it it will be really slow
But even then it is 400kbps, it's just a really big movie (15 minutes). Zipping doesn't work, so I'll try to find out if realplayer or quicktime is smaller (can you guys play mov or rm files?)

ok there it is, sorry I'm so late but I was ill, so really nothing was done.

it is VCD mpeg1, but is is about 160mb big, so don't download all at a time because then it will be really slow

Have fun with it!

looks like it but my quality is better

no problem, will be there a full week from now at least

due to server reinstallation the file was offline for a few days.
from now on both wmv and mpg are back for download.

happy dl'ing
