DivX, QuickTIme, MOV AVI, DV to CDXL convertors???

There may be such an amimation converter, I don't really know. How far have you looked?

CDXL doesn't offer the sort of compression ratio that would make it achievable unless you use very low quality.

Several GB of DVD footage would end up as several tens of GB of CDXL and would probably take an age on a 680x0 amiga to convert.

Why dont someone make it?

GCC and VBCC are free to use. If you want something and nobody else has produced it, make it yourself.

Before anybody says it, excuses such as "I can't program" aren't acceptable since:

1) If you want something badly enough, you will learn.
2) By doing so you will advance your own skills and be giving something to the community. We need more developers!
3) It has never stopped Microsoft ;-)

@odin

That goes for me too, but I still code the things I need. One of my longest ever projects is designed to make coding the things I need even less effort :lol:

Bzzzzzt. Violation of point (1) : Excuse rejected ;-)

Off Topic, VBCC and GCC are a pair of compilers available for Amiga.

So you only want to convert short sections. That is probably doable.

From a laziness perspective, if you have the PC capable of viewing them in the first place, why the desire to make CDXL versions? Aside from finding / writing a tool to do the job, conversion to CDXL would probably reduce the quality quite a bit. It seems a bit of a wasted effort soley for the benefit of being able to watch it on an amiga.

Speaking of amiga video formats, whatever happened to PowerMovie? That seemed to be something capable of quite decent fullscreen quality.

I dunno. I do know it needed AGA and that it undoubtedly bashed the chips. As for non-multitasking, I can't say. I do remember some video sequences made using it that were rather nice though.
