The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will
be next Saturday, June 19, at 09:30 AM PDT, in room 326 of the Eastside
Christian School at the Grace Ministries Complex, 1645 W. Valencia Dr. in
Fullerton.
Play Time! WarpVision for Videos
Z! for Music
Emperoar for TV & Radio
The WarpVision video player ( http://os2.kiev.ua/en/wv.php) has been under
irregular development for close to 3 years now, by a team in Kiev. Over
this time period, a great many builds have been released, significant
progress has been made in several areas, but there has also been periodic
backsliding in others. Still, it remains the most viable, most promising
video option natively available for the OS/2 platform.
We start off the presentation with our very own columnist, The Fox, who
authored an overview of WarpVision some time ago
( http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2002/scoug208.discoveries.html), and has been
tracking its' progress and fooling around with it ever since. At our
meeting, he hopes to be ready to illustrate what this program can and
can't presently do. Using four different builds of WV, with a few months
of separation between each, he will show varying results with an array of
video clips of diverse formats.
Partly because our presenter is a rather non-technical user, everyone
should be able to follow this presentation. The emphasis will tilt
decidedly towards entertainment value. In fact, we dare say that some of
these clips you will be unlikely to see anywhere else. The Fox is still
sweating out some sound and DVD playback issues, but hopes to be able to
demo the latter feature as well.
Next, The Fox hopes to give us a quick look at the Z! music player, and
specifically at its' handling of streaming radio off of the Internet. Z!
is found at http://dink.org/z/.
And in conclusion, Jerry Rash (Mr. Media to SCOUGites) will demo Emperoar
TV ( http://www.s-t.de/emperoar/), which lets you play TV and radio on your
PC.
Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a
problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help. Info
