Welcome to a nostalgic compilation of some early, but timelessly classic
cartoons. Enjoyable for their artistic value and slapstick humor, these
QuickTime movies will make you laugh all over again. This series of
QuickToons¬ volumes were produced to provide pre-digitized and pre-
compressed QuickTime movies for your education, entertainment, personal
library and your potential multimedia projects. For the first time, the
technology of yesteryear meets the state-of-the-art in desktop
multimedia. We hope these early examples of American animation will in
some small way help you combine education, nostalgia, and multimedia in
potentially new and innovative ways.
The original films were converted to video and then digitized with the
very latest hardware and software technology available. Each digital
version of the original film required substantial amounts of disk
space. With the best video compressors currently available and
maintaining the highest quality, each movie would require significant
space on a CD-ROM and would not be playable without transfer to your
hard disk. To make the QuickTime movies usable by the largest audience,
Compact Designs has compressed each film for optimal playback directly
from the CD-ROM. The 1/8 screen movies were optimized for playback on
CD-ROM drives that can only output a data rate of 90-150 kb/s. The 1/4
screen movies were optimized for playback on CD-ROM drives that can
output a data rate of 150-300 kb/s or better. The sound for the 1/8
screen movies were sampled at 11khz, while the sound for the 1/4 screen
movies were sampled at 22khz. None of the sound files are stereo, because
there was none at the time of the original films. The playback
performance of these QuickTime movies is highly dependent on the
transfer speed of your CD-ROM drive and the speed of your computer. For
the best performance, you can copy any movie from the CD-ROM to your
hard disk.
The original films were transferred with Rank-Cintel equipment, using
scene-to-scene correction whenever possible, and a wet-gate was used to
conceal scratches. Many of these early original films were of marginal
quality, but Compact Designs has done everything possible to maintain the
best quality, given the slow speed of most CD-ROM drives. For best
viewing, we suggest that you change your monitors setting to thousands
of colors.
Each of the films contained on the QuickToons volumes is in public
domain. This means the original copyrights pertaining to the film is no
longer valid. However, be aware that even though the movies are in the
public domain, certain trademarks and/or tradenames may be active. To
avoid infringing upon any trademarks, you must not use any of the images
or tradenames in trade. That is, to produce a product that appears to
be produced/sponsored/endorsed by any active trademark/tradename is not
permitted. Example: producing a coffee mug with an image of a
trademarked character would confuse the purchaser in believing the mug
was produced/sponsored/endorsed by the owner of the character. Most
QuickTime electronic media productions would not infringe upon any
trademark/tradename. Examples: multimedia presentations, overhead
presentations, monitor presentations, videowall presentations, video
teleconferencing, broadcasting, etc. Other creative uses for these
clips would include QuickTime textures for 3-Dimensional models, color
keyed backgrounds for animations, QuickTime movies, etc.
Look for additional volumes of QuickToons featuring: Bugs Bunny, Popeye,
Betty Boop, Superman, Porky Pig and others.
