Hi,
How many different video codecs were made for this OS?
reason for me asking this is because I'm working on a retro CGI project and i'm figuring out a practical way of using video footage as animated textures, like for TV screens.
I'm using a Toshiba satellite pro CDT460 as the workstation running win 3.1+win32s and i use a sandisk pcmcia multicard reader for transfer from SD/XD/SM/magicgate etc. 3D software is Raydream 4.0 which relies on the multimedia extensions installed on the OS.
problem is, my old digicams are either the canon a620 or the fujifilm a202 and they're from 2002/3. my pc has no problems with reading their still image jpegs, but not their primitive movies files, presumably because most of these are of a mjpeg i'm guessing and traditional codecs for 3.x tend to cinepak/indeo derived.
would be interested to know if some aftermarket codec pack was made for 3.x that read moviecam formats from the 9x era.
