1. Video For Euphoria ( VFE )
Hi all,
I am developing a video format for Euphoria for use in games, demos,
Screensavers or just to play around with. At this time I have writen a player, a
crude .FLI to .EVF ( Euphoria Video Format ) converter and one test video ( with
sound ! ). I intend to release a short demo to anyone who is interested within a
few weeks. Later I hope to release tools to help create your own videos /
animations. Resolution is 320x200x256 but I think 640x480x256 could work too.
The format is very open-ended ( We can add new features to it as we need them )
Problems so far :-
1. Disk access is a bit slow - I hope that Euphoria V1.5 will be a bit faster
there or I could use JDs DosWrap:BlockRead() code or I could load complete anims
into RAM first.
2. Compression is OK but not as good as .FLI anims yet ! - The image data has to
be presented to Euphoria in a way that is easy for it to handle quickly enough
so I am limited in the compression methods I can use.
3. Limited sound - Again I might have to wait for a while or find a way to cheat
!
In the mean time is anybody doing 3D modeling / ray-tracing with Euphoria, if
so, we might need to have a little talk 
I don't know how useful this project is to you all out there, if it is useful
you know where I am.
Regards - Peter

Most of what I do is 3d-modelling and animation. Check out my regular
