A first for OS4?

[desiv]

That reminds me...
Back in the day, I had a HAM-E video box, and the software that came with it.

This was in the early 90's...

I remember being online and the Black Belt guys were talking about adding support for a new compression routine/standard.  So I DLd the update and was viewing compressed images that were TINY but incredible!!!  
Yep, it was JPEG.

What reminded me from this thread was that I remember the BB guys saying they believed their software was the first commercial software to support JPEG.
If true, that would make the Amiga, the first computer to commercially support JPEG as well...

(They were also pretty early to provide morphing I think.... )

Can't remember the software name tho now..  Image..  magic/master???

Anyway, yeay for OS4 and the new datatype.  Another Amiga first.

How 'bout second - The Linux routines have been available for a bit...

As the first source code for Linux was in 1991 and JPEG was in 1992, I'd be surprised if Linux beat the Amiga in a "commmercial first" for JPEG.
I mean, I used some really early Linux distros and they weren't much for graphics apps back then.  

Unless you are just talking about WebP.

In which case, I'm not sure.  I didn't post initially about OS4 being first with WebP.

Quite clearly it was about the WebP in particular. Indeed it isn't a first.

Most likely, but I prefer not to assume.

You can do whatever you choose...  ;-)

Wow.. Slow day for you??  :roflmao:

p.s  For clarification for Piru as it obviously bothered him, I was replying in that way to let him know that, since he was replying about WebP (most likely) not being a first, he should have been quoting the person who originally made the statement.  Mine was more a tangent about jpeg.
