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, William M.

I'm real interested in the multimedia products that are available under unix, and I wonder if anyone's been collecting and keeping a summary/list of the products that have been described in this newsgroup. Our system doesn't keep messages that are more than a couple of days old, so there's no way I can retrieve old messages. Please email if you have copies or a summary of some kind. An idea: In the early days of the C++ newsgroup, somebody used to keep a list of the C++ products and books that were available, and made a regular post of it (maybe they still do). Is there enough interest for such a list here? Will anybody volunteer to maintain it ;-). - Shankar ssriniva@Teknowledge.Com
