• 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).

• avformat/argo_asf : don't check file version

  avformat/argo_asf : don't check file version
  It has no bearing on structure. Determined by looking at the ASF
  
  files from several Argonaut games :
  
    - FX Fighter,
  
    - Croc,
  
    - Croc 2,
  
    - The Emperor's New Groove, and
  
    - Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge
  The only versions that appear are 1.1, 1.2, and 2.1, and their
  
  structure is identical.

• avformat/smacker : Support seeking to first frame

  avformat/smacker : Support seeking to first frame
  Add .read_seek function to the smacker demuxer for the special case of
  
  seeking to ts=0. This is useful because smacker – like bink, with a
  
  similar implementation – was mostly used to encode clips in video
  
  games, where random seeks are rare but looping media are common.
