Movie Shop Data to Mac

[amigaandi]

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!

Isn't the output format MJPEG? I think QuickTime/Final Cut can handle that directly.

I guess at the time I did not export the data. 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?

Hmmm....well, try loading them into IrfanView (freeware) on a windows machine....it can load a lot of formats and will attempt to identify the format by its data header.
Maybe ImageFX can import MovieShop clips?

I'm guessing you don't have access to a real Amiga anymore? There's 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 package (analogous to the Unix world's dd command), then using Scene-Handler.

I'll skip this one...
