Correct. Most frames will however not change all pixels. And the data of
about 320x400 can be updated at 30fps.

Good point. Another possibility would be for CBM to authorize DEC PC

   The fact also is that many Amiga owners in the U.S. don't give a rip about
Europe, Bosnia, or Swaziland.  If the Amiga is not strong here, support is not 
available here, and hardware and software are not available here.  These are
enough reasons to dissuade a person from ever getting another Amiga.

   I KNEW when I posted that message that I should have clarified that point.
My first impulse after posting it was to cancel the message and re-post it,

   Anyway, I was talking about the developers of DataTax, DataMax I think was
their name.  The no longer publish Amiga software, and have explicity stated
why.  They feel that the Amiga market in the U.S. not nearly strong enough to
support a good tax perparation program.  Anyway, DataMax is the ex-Amiga-

Not  surprising  since the custom chips in the 400 were largely designed by
the  same person who did the original Amiga chips.  The Atari 400 is like a
baby  Amiga.   Resolutions  and  colours  would  obviously  be very limited
compared to an Amiga.

I have an A2000 with a Ricoh removable media 50meg drive named RH2: 
a standard hard drive,  accelerator board etc.

I goofed and and now have the system come up with a message "RH2: has a 
checksum error on block 2572." If I cancel the error message the icons 
appear and I can read the files that were on the disk before I caused
the error. However there was a large group of files that I had unset all
of the protection bits. I would like to be able to recover those files.
When I send a command to set any of those files to read I get the system
message "Rh2: is not validated."

Does any one have suggestions for what I might try to do in order to
recover those read protected files?

Thank you for any help?

Well, I have come up with similar results using 704x480 HAM8 and PPshow30
This was displayed in interlace (I only have a 1084 style monitor) 
I loaded the anim into View3.2 and it reported an average frame delta of
127K (quite high yes, but ~4FPS !!??)   Geez, glad I kept my DCTV.
I was hoping for better than this.

That was just speculation before AA was actually released.  I think it 'might' be possible to get 30fps on a 4000 if individual frames were buffered into chip ram with no ANIM compression, and I'm talking a 16color image - theres no way we are gonna see a superhires/256,000 color anims playing at 30fps no matter how good the software gets (at least not on this current chipset)

Ah, these are the specs I like to hear.  So your telling me that the current AGA chipset can handle a maximum of 7megabytes per second?  I wish I could get more stats like that.  Anymore interesting 'specs' you'd like to share?

If the chipset is capable of 7mb/sec, and assuming someone writes a page flipper that will take full advantage of that, AND assuming that SCSI II is indeed available early next year - we should be able to EASILY get 30fps animations from a 4 bitplane/hires/interlaced/overscan animation.  DCTV uses those specs and a FULL overscan/interlace pic in DCTV takes up an average of 150k.  30fps would only require the chipset to handle 4.5mb/sec.
 
Are there other limiting factors that I might be overlooking here?  I am very excited about SCSI II and full 30fps animations and am saving my money for such a setup.
 
Lastly, just what is a DSP?  I know it stands for Digital Signal Processor and is primarily used for sound, but what exactly does it do?  And how would it be used in a video application?

  First of all there is no Public Domain solution that I am aware of. There
  are some non-public domain ways to ease this problem..  You mentioned
  Animator Pro. Yes that will convert ANIM files into PC .fli files. This 
  utility doesn't support all amiga resolutions, nor does it support HAM
  mode files.. 

  The easiest solution would be to buy Deluxe Paint IIe for the PC and also
  buy the companion program Deluxe Paint Animation program. They should let
  you work in at least lores with 256 colors.  You can load these files also
  into DPAINT IV with no problems.. Features etc. DPaint IV has a lot in 
  common with it's PC counterpart. The lady who took over DPAINT programming
  (Lee Taran) also did coding on the PC product as well..

I hope asdg is listening....

	After using MorphPlus for a few tries, I thought I'd make some
suggestions (sorry if they have been mentioned before).  While the flexibility
of using vectors, connected by an edge, give an infinite number of vectors
along that edge to stretch the image is great, it would be nice not to have to
approximate curves with many edges, but have d[Djirect support for curves.
Maybe be compatible with BME autotrace, making it easy to calculate the
actual outline of the babyface and owl.  This would also reduce the number of
edges and vectors that tend to clutter groups quickly.

also, anyone gotten the free upgrade for morphplus that addresses easier
animation creation?

Well, pageflipping is surely possible at that rate but it would be a rather
limited animation with just 3 frames (1280x400x8) fitting into chip memory.

What should be possible with enough memory or a fast harddisk is a 30fps
320x400x8 animation. Some limited sceneries (with small deltas) might
also allow 640x400x8.

A DSP might change that but the final limit will be the 7MB/s bandwidth
to chip memory (640x400x8 30fps with no deltas requires 7.7MB/s).

Huh?  View3.x plays back anims almost as slowly on a 4000 as it does on
my A500.

We need, for fast anim playback the following:
	Anim-7 (AAP_AAC) longword format used.
	Be sure the data is aligned in 64bit format

This will allow the full bandwith to be used.

Currently, anim 5 writes 1 byte at a time.  This does not take advantage
of AGA.
