Sparkle 2.3.0 A mac-look-and-feel MPEG and QT player and converter.
This should replace Sparkle 2.2.3 in the info-mac archives.
Changes are:
* A serious bug in 2.2.2/2.2.3 broke MPEG encoding. Now fixed.
* All encoding now done based on time, not frame number. See
``ReadMe New Timing'' for details.
* Sound is now partially supported. See ``ReadMe Sound'' for details.
* Misc bugs and tweaks.
Also in this package are a VERY rough quick and dirty port of some unix
MPEG-2 decoding code. This will allow you to see what's in an MPEG2 file
and save the result as a QT movie. Of course at some point this support
will be rolled into Sparkle but I'd like to do sound first.
Be patient with this programs---in particular when it starts up, it
may sit for a minute or so looking like it's frozen before anything
starts happening. This program is based on code by Chad Fogg and the
MPEG Software Simulation Group.
Also in this package is a VERY rough quick and dirty port of a
unix MPEG demuxer. This will split a muxed MPEG file (one containing
both audio and video) into separate audio and video files. This program
is based on code by Rainer Menes.
This version of Sparkle
* has very limited AppleScript support. Probably not yet useful, but
that'll change soon.
* does not support online help
These are all high priorities, pretty much in that order.
WHAT IS IT?
Sparkle plays MPEGs, PICTs and QT movies and converts between them. It is
multifinder friendly and, with enough memory, will open multiple
documents at once.
It is free.
REQUIRES:
System 7 or greater.
QuickTime 1.6 or greater.
Sound Manager 3.0 or greater.
An 020 based mac or greater.
Works much better with SCSI Manager 4.3 installed.
Thread Manager.2.0
(Why don't you just buy System 7.5 and be done with it?)
This program on PowerMac requires ObjectSupportLib. Read the enclosed
file if you don't have it to learn how to get it.
You can ftp Sparkle from sumex-aim.stanford.edu (or a mirror like
mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu) in info-mac/grf/util.
You can ftp the Thread Manager from ftp.apple.com in
dts/mac/sys.soft/extensions/Thread_manager_201.hqx
