: Does anyone know of a good way to convert Marathon or Aleph One
: films into Quicktime? I've been trying Snapz Pro (which came with my new
: TiBook- w00t!), but it seems to slow down the film replaying process to
: the point of being unusable. I've tried turning off OpenGL, putting it
: into low resolution, making the screen smaller, turning down the color
: depth- but nothing has made this actually work. Even if I slow down the
: replay, it seems to somehow catch the screen in mid-refresh, so that I'm
: looking one way in the top half of the screen, and looking the other way
: in the bottom half, or there's a rocket in the top half whose contrail
: should be in the bottom half, but gets cut off, etc.... Well, suffice it
: to say that it doesn't seem to work.
: I know about that MQTR thing, where you're supposed to drag your
: Marathon application onto it, put it in low resolution, etc., but I can't
: even get the Finder to let me drag Marathon onto MQTR- and I've tried it
: with Marathon 1, 2 and Infinity. Maybe this only worked in OS 9, I dunno.
: Yech.
: I'd probably assume that it just couldn't be done, if it weren't
: for that "10th Warrior" thing- you know, "I'm
: invisible," etc. (if you don't, then here it is - I think that
: should work), and the Rubicon trailer, and the Solace trailer, and, yeah.
: I can't imagine these people really just took screenshots of every frame
: in their movie and strung them together. Well, I guess I could , but I'd
: rather not.
: Aaaanyway, can someone help me here? It's not exactly urgent, but
: I would like to know how. Thanks.
MQTR worked quite well when last I tried it - OS8 or 9. I can't get it to work in OSX either.
The 10th Warrior movie was made (I think) by recording the screen output to a VCR; either the monitor or the video card had a TV out port.
