People,

I've been reading through this group for the last couple of days and
noticed that a number of multimedia products for unix were described.
There are two others (that were not described) that I think are
noteworthy.  They are the hyperCmedia toolkit and the videophile
toolkit from a company named paradise software (609-397-4142).

I received a demo tape from them and what I saw was very interesting.
hyperCmedia is a C language API that allows a developer to create
hypermedia applications.  The applications can contain text, sound,
still frames, video, and arbitrary links.

The demo applications are what you might expect them to be, but the
kicker is the video portions of the demos.  They are made with their
videophile product.  The video is in color and is running at 30
frames/sec with no add-in hardware (on sun sparcstation).  Evidently
they capture, compress, and store the video for playback on the
sparcstation.

This is some interesting stuff that I think is worthy of note.

Best Regards,
