This animated gif was made today 20 March 1999 from my camcorder tape
using my Snappy 3.0 paralell port capture device.
This is the 1st movie I've made from tape & the 1st using my new Snappy.

Webacelerator may be causing this not to play continuously, so let me know
if you are using webacelerator
www.webcelerator.com. If you are using AOL & this does not play over & over forever, try turning off graphic compression. To turn off graphic compression in AOL try clicking on: "my aol preferences" then "www web graphics" Regardless of what you are using, I'd appreciate hearing how this animation does on your computer. Email me & let me know if this animated gif plays over & over for you or only 5 or less times -- how many times without hitting reload/refresh. Also include the browser name (IE, NS, ...) & browser version and if using AOL, AOL's version & type of operating system (Windows95, Mac, etc.). Thanks. With help like this, maybe I can get this page to function right for everyone. This animated gif plays continuously for me using IE 4.0 I notice with my computer it takes Netscape 3.04 26 seconds to show this movie each time, while IE 4.0 requires only 15 seconds. But the double sized gif on IE is very grainy while it is smooth with NS, so I guess NS uses the extra time to display each image smoother. My computer is a Cyriz 6X86 P120 running at 100 Mhz with 64 Megs of RAM, so if your computer is faster, maybe it shows the movies faster. At 1st NS did not play continuously for me, but it did after I cleared cache in IE. Maybe cache being big affected NS or maybe cache had nothing to do with NS not running the gif continuously. |
