• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 3

  18 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  Discreet Cleaner 5
  Capture, author, encode, and publish multimedia in Real, QuickTime, Windows Media, MP3, DV, and MPEG formats. This package has a copyright date of 2001 (thus predating Flash video by a few years). This software seems to have since been purchased by Autodesk and is up to version 6.5 (which does support Flash video).

  
  
  

  Discreet Plasma
  "Web 3D Design." Package is copyright 2002. Like the last package, this package also makes reference to Discreet being a division of Autodesk. Sure enough, Autodesk purchased them in 1999 and would later rename them Autodesk Media and Entertainment.

  
  
  

  Debabelizer
  "The Graphics Processing Toolbox." Looking down its list of features on the box copy, I honestly wonder if it can accomplish anything that ImageMagick can’t.

  
  
  

  MatchWare Mediator 7
  "Create Flash, HTML & CD-Rom Presentations." Wow, version 7, and with a latest copyright date of 2002 on the box. There’s still a top-Google-hit web page for MatchWare Mediator 9, this one instead emphasizing interactive CDs, HTML, and then Flash.

  
  
  

  Final Cut Pro v1.2.5
  Promotional copy Apple’s video editing software. No copyright date, but it requires a PowerPC G3 or G4 and Mac OS 9.

  
  
  

  Apple Keynote
  More Apple software that I think can technically be classified as multimedia-related. I’m not sure which version this is.

  
  
  

• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 4

  20 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  This is the last part of the series, at least until some more multimedia software shows up at my favorite thrift shop or the other boneyards I scavenge.

  Miscellaneous Multimedia Programs
  This set includes the titles Matinee FMV Screensaver, MetaCreations Painter Classic, and Multimedia JumpStart. The second one is likely a creation program. I have no idea what the third one is, while the first title gives me chills just thinking about the implications.

  
  
  

  Miscellaneous Creativity Software
  Magic Theatre and Microsoft Home : Creative Writer. I think I loaded up the former once to find a very basic animation program. The latter isn’t necessarily multimedia-related but certainly classifies as creative software. It also reminds me of the ad I once spied in Entertainment Weekly magazine during the mid-1990s for a Microsoft music history CD-ROM. MS branched out into all kinds of niches.

  
  
  

  More Multimedia Creativity Software
  VideoCraft and U-Create Games & Animation. I wager these would be fun to play around with if I had the time.

  
  
  

  Showcase CD-ROMs
  "What Can You Make ? Showcase 7" from Macromedia and Microsoft Multimedia Pack 10.

  
  
  

  Basic Multimedia Software Discs
  As a multimedia nerd, these Apple QuickTime and Microsoft Video for Windows discs make me sentimental.

  
  
  

  Real Software Collection
  Grit your teeth and gaze upon CD-ROM distributions of Real’s software. There is a RealAudio disc back from when Real still called themselves Progressive Networks. "Everything you need to hear the web roar !"

  
  
  

  Clips
  And a few multimedia clip CD-ROMs, along with a disc that promises to test and tune your MPC setup.

  
  
  

  Wrap-Up
  I would be remiss if I neglected to mention a few more pieces of multimedia creation software in my collection. First, there’s the Barbie Storymaker. I actually gave that one a go, as you can tragically see from that link. Further, the Taco Bell fast food restaurant chain ran, as one of their many kids meal promotions, a series of 4 simple Comics Constructor CD-ROMs. I played briefly with it here and again during an exploration of XML data formats and the parsing thereof (which the software uses).
