- Okay, this is a MPEG demo which was played at the Genoa booth during
- this past November, 1992 Comdex show in Las Vegas.
-
- Here is how to uncompact..
-
- o First, get all the files. This is a very big and impressive demo.
- To get the full effect, you'll need to buy the MPEG 2.0 player for
- Windows 3.x on MSDOS machines, but you can use any PD MPEG player
- and still be able to appreciate the beauty of this demo. anon ftp to
- ftp.rahul.net and cd to /pub/bryanw/unix for a unix mpeg player
- or /pub/bryanw/pc for a pc mpeg player. You may also retrieve
- an "unarjer" for the respective machines in the respective
- directories above.
-
- You need to retrieve these files:
-
- mpggenoa.arj mpggenoa.a01 mpggenoa.a02 mpggenoa.a03 mpggenoa.a04
-
- o Once you've gotten all the files, you next need to decompress them.
- For ease of decompression, place all the mpeg archives in one
- directory for easy unarchival. Then, enter the following at
- the command line:
-
- for msdos >> arj x mpggenoa.arj
-
- The [un]arj program will proceed to uncompress everything.
- You may be asked if you wish to append files as they are
- uncompressed. Answer YES. (hit y and hit return if necessary).
- First a .WAV file should be decompressed, and then the very large
- (about 8-9 megabyte big) MPEG animation. As the archives are
- uncompressed in order, the data will be appended to what was
- previously decompressed. In the end, you'll have two very big
- files in your directory: a .WAV file of maybe 1.5 megs and a
- .MPG animation about 8-9 megs in length.
-
- NOTE FOR UNIX
-
- Under unix, it is not known if unarj automatically appends the data to
- the MPEG as it is decompressed. Observe the experience a user had:
-
- I found (on unix) that you must then (after unarj x mpggenoa.arj)
- move MPGGENOA.MPG to destination file (eg, genoa.mpg), then "unarj x"
- each of the mpggenoa.a0[1234] and append each of the resulting
- MPGGENOA.MPG files to the end of the destination file (eg, genoa.mpg),
- and remove them before continuing to the next archive.
-
- o View the MPG with your MPEG viewing software. Refer to your
- program's instructions.
-
- o If you'd like to be able to view the DEMO with better output quality,
- along with a fully digitized accompanying soundtrack, you must buy
- the commercial MPEG player. For now it is only available for MSDOS
- MicroSoft Windows 3.x. Here is the relevant information for interested
- parties:

- MPEG 2.0 for windows3.x is now available !
-
- It is the digital Video player via a software only solution ! It displays
- in a 320x240 window under win3.x a realtime decompressed digital video !
- Decompression is done only by software and it reaches 30 frames/sec on a
- 486 PC ! The new version has a very enhanced picture quality, because the
- compression rate with the encoder can now be adjusted ! The very new thing
- is the WAV-Sound support ! So if you have a soundcard inside your PC [or
- the speaker-drv insÖ lled !], you will have a real video-clip with
- accompagning sound !
-
- They currently sell 3 demo disks with the full featured Player, version
- 2.0 and lots of animations on the disks.
-
- It is availbale for 39.-DM over here in Germany, which is 26 US$.
