Even I did not know this was possible. :v:

That looks like more than 4 lines to me.

That's the model of computer he's using :v:

Imagine running through the Lord of the Rings series like this.
You'd need a library full of discs.

I remember back when Floppies were still widely used that there was this 5 minute long video of complex abstract shapes and animation, complete with music, compressed down into about 60kb
Really wish I knew what it was or where to find it again

You wouldn't copy that floppy.

Thanks, I was pretty confused by it. I just assumed it meant the resolution of the video. Never heard of that computer before.

There is an entire scene around creating "videos" like that. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene[/url]
IMO the most impressive on is .kkrieger. It's a shooter with a filesize of ~110KB.

I wish more of these existed. .kkrieger was fucking amazing for its time.
To be fair, the demoscene is what largely spawned the indie genre and rightly so considering how games like Papers, Please & Bastion are this decade's 2nd Reality.
I got an avi somewhere on a floppy disk called "The Love Plug". It's just 40 seconds of a guy wrapping his dick in tinfoil and plugging it into a wallsocket. I think I originally pulled off ebausmworld waaaaay the fuck back.

Here's that video [url=http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/283239/](NSFW obviously).[/url] Interesting...?

This is Heaven 7, uploaded to youtube. The actual file itself is 64kb. That's insane

I'm going to take a magnet to one of those, and you're not going to know which one.
So it appears this video came out of a competition.
[url]http://trs-80.org.uk/Tandy_Page_5x.html[/url]
Someone asked if he was going to make a longer video that worked with the FreHD, a hard disk emulator for Tandy machines.
[quote="gp2000"]That would be cool, but I expect I'd have to rewrite the player. Kind of depends on how one reads data off the FreHD. Which presumably is compatible with the TRS-80 hard drives not that I have any idea how that goes down. The floppy has no buffer so you have to grab each byte as it comes along, one every 32 microseconds. This gives you time to update graphics and audio. If that's the same deal with a hard drive, then there's probably not time to do anything but read the data which will be a problem if you let the audio go unserviced for that interval.
Now, if the hard drive has a buffer and you can read in a sector at your leisure, that would be glorious. I'm thinking this might be the case. Surely a hard drive has more data per track than a floppy, but even at a floppy sized 6.25 KB/track running at 3600 RPM means 0.27 microseconds/byte. Just the port read itself if 11 cycles or 2.75 microseconds so there's just no way the Z-80 could keep up.
Could do some pretty nice things with that kind of bandwidth, that's for sure.
Converting the episode might be more of a problem. I used a number of ad-hoc techniques to get the intro looking semi-reasonable. Might take some work to find good, general purpose downsampling methods for the video. [/quote]
