Hoi Chummers!

I have a curious question...  And am not sure if it has been asked before.

I have Digi-View v3.0 (Amiga 500, 1MB) currently with v1.2 WB

My question is:
  Is there a way to directly digitize with DV from my Laserdisk player?
  (Pioneer Model CLD-990)

Am wondering, for there are some interesting anime scenes I'd like to try and
grab onto computer format for some obscure means.

There is a Public Doamin Packet, PBMPLUS, which converts different graphics
format, too. Available on several ftp-sites, like ftb.fu-berlin.de.

Well I bought a Alfa-Data 256 greyscale scanner with 400 dpi resolution for
around $185.  It included Migraph Touchup software and a special type of 
software called Migraph Merge-It which allows you to merge several scans into 
one HUGE picture (memory dependent) sometimes 2048x3096.  It scans line art
very well but I haven't been able to scan multi-colored pictures into 
grey-scale very well.

Just my .02 cents worth.

	Hello.
	Have you tried "GIF_view"  ?
	It's the faster GIF->IFF viewer/saver that I've seen !

	Take it from:
		sabrina.dei.unipd.it
		/extra/ftp/pub/amiga/grafica/GIF_view44.zoo

	or look elsewhere for
		GIF_view44.zoo

	Bye,bye. Lorenzo.

 Good choice, hope you like the A4000, i don't.

 Yes. Consider to buy a REAL MultiSync (MultiScan) Monitor which provides
 15Hz upto 90Hz, because the A4000 needs them. 
 If you don't get 15Hz, you won't be able to display the PAL-Modes.
 For instance none of the (actual) NEC xFG Monitors does that, also 
 Eizo's common Monitors doesn't.

 Ask the dealer to test the Monitor at home or bring the machine to the
 dealer to asure all modes run and your satiesfied.

When compared to the 68000 series, RISC processors seem to
have rather more 'complex' instructions that one might
expect.

For example, the ability to add register1, left shifted 3 bits,
to register2, and place the result in register3, all in one cycle,
is possible using the ARM RISC processor. 
Think how long the 68040 would spend doing that.

It even has a version of MOVEM, and MULT.

Ok, it's simple. In the 3.0 Palette Prefs Editor you can change so many
more settings about highlighting which item by which color, so that there
is provided a *sample* screen, containing samples of list and gadgets
(all inactive) showing you the effects of your choices. The current
contents looks nicer than if they had chosen entries like "Line 1",
"Line 2" or "Item 4", "Item 5", or?

Yes, this must have been a very old prototype, that black front was

Art Department Professional does the job best (IMHO), but this program is
a commercial product. You could also go for HamLabPlus which is shareware.
I believe there is a crippled PD-version of HamLabPlus, which you might
grab from a ftp-server or BBS near you.

Put them up in 24-bit, and say where there are conversion programs available.
Then everybody can look at them in the best format they have access to.
(I'd be using ppm to look at it on my HP at work, for example).

(It might be nice to have HAM pictures available too, so those without
graphics boards can have smaller file transfers).

frame`s colours go a bit funny. I would like to know if there is any way
of getting around this, or if I am doing anything wrong. I wrote a script
file to get vista to render the frames, and although I did it to test my
computer`s performance, I now want to see the anim.
	Also, is there any other pd fractal landscape program that will
make use of my 68030, and 68882, because I don`t believe that vista does,
`cause it took an hour and a half to draw 30 frames (at top res.)

		Thanks,

    And that you've written... :) I've tried it, and FastGIF is still
    faster. I think that's mostly because FastGIF is converting to
    gray not HAM, but even with the QUICK option on GIF_View it's
    still a bit slower than FastGIF.

    FastGIF also handles corrupt GIF files without crashing, which is
    a big plus for me because some of the GIF files I was getting were
    corrupted during the download.
