Video converter update 2.2 beta
Carsten Siegner wrote:
Today I have finished a new beta of the program 'Video converter'. This version fixes a problem with Movieshop picture files. Until now ffmepg broke off when it met an unknown Jpg sub format (ffmpeg is very particular about Jpg sub formats). Now I have created a "work arround" by coding a dataype loader plugin for Video converter. This plugin can read all picture formats for which a datatype is installed, convert them to PPM and hand them over as a picture list to Video converter.
All you have to do is choosing a pictures directory in the lister as input, one for the output and then just pressing "convert".
Unfortunately it's only a beta version because it always crashes on my Amiga when using very big pictures lists and I could not fix the error entirely. This beta can be downloaded from my hompage.

The developer team offers no support and gives no guarantee! Any requests done by email will also not be answered. You use it on your own risk!
The changes which were made you can read in this list.
You can get further information on the Yamos SourgeForge-site.

Czech Amiga.News MOVED
Paul ExiE Strejcek writes:
First we would like to apologize that Czech Amiga.News was unavailable
for 12 days. For technical reasons we have moved to a new address
amiga.czex.com.
Now we ask for your help!
If you find a link referring to the old address, please notify the
webmaster about the change.
To contact us, please write to newsy@czex.com
or exie@czex.com.
We made the best of the change and improved the html code, which should
result in faster display in Amiga browsers, especially on slower machines,
and light-speed downloading :-).
BTW main page of Czech Amiga.News finally validates as HTML 4.01 Transitional!
During the transition we have also fixed the
forms for submitting news, so don't be afraid
to use them. Finally we have also started updating our vast collection of
links. We will keep you informed about the progress. After arrival of the
new version of operating system AmigaOS 4.0 we are going to add new services
for our readers. Let us surprise you! Additional ideas and comments are
welcome!

Music/Sound Expert Sought for Crossfire II
Dreamworlds Development is looking urgently for a music/sound expert who can also
add music to animations, in order to prepare Crossfire II. The animations are in MPEG
format or if needed in single pictures on a CD. The result of adding the sound should
therefore be a timed sample in a common format
There is not going to be much monetary reward involved (because of the
overall market situation). The best case scenario would be approximately
100 Euros when the project is published. You can get further details by
expressing your interest in an email.

Magazine: AMIGAplus for October, 2002
The AMIGAplus for October 2002 with the title theme "Audio with PSA"
will be out in the middle of next week. For two reasons the release
date was postponed, and so a new appointment was made with the
publishing company.
Read about the following topics in the latest AMIGAplus:
Mega-Workshop ProStationAudio
"Audio with the Amiga rocks!" Take a calm walk with us in the world
of a professional Audio-Sequencer, ProStationAudio. Add chimes to
your life!
Thylacine - Tasmanian USB Controller
For many long years it wasn't possible to use a USB gizmo with
your Amiga. Now, within the space of a year come not one but
two new USB cards on the market. After we introduced E3B's
HIGHWAY in the May and July/August 2002 issues, and its little
sister SUBWAY for the clock port of the Amiga 1200 is still
awaited, we're making a little trip to Australia for you. That's
where the Zorro II card Thylacine has been available for a little
while.
Software Tycoon - Learn as the game progresses...
When the digital entertainment industry was still in the
shoes of a little child, the pioneers of game history could
give free rein to their innovative ideas.
After the version for the PC was released about a year ago, the
Amigans and Mac-heads [and MorphOSians -dm] can also dive
into the world of a Software Tycoon and virtually manage the
development of a game.
PC Competitor - Twice-Enjoyed Retro Game Fun
To throw away something valuable, to give something the old heave ho
without a good reason, now that's a pity. So how can the old competitions, zip sticks,
Pythons and Hyperstars be regenerated for employment in Amiga
emulators? The rescue comes from the joystick interface PC
Competitor!
And in addition to all that:
- Workshop PGP, Part 1
- FroggerNG 2 CD Tested
- A+ on Tour: photokina 2002
- What's New in Emulator Land
- How to Do Better on eBay, Part 2
- Floppy Classics on Hard-drive: WHDLoad
- Amiga-Status-Report 10/02: Voter Rights
- Demoscene: Summertime is... Partytime
- Show Report O.A.S.E. 2: News from Austria
- and a whole lot more
AMIGAplus is available by subscription, by single issue at
5 Euros per (inc. postage and handling) and in your local
Amiga shop.

Under the title link there's a game test by Golem
with the titleGame Test: Speedball 2 - Return of the Classics

the Bitmap Brothers. This development team created Amiga games of an unforgotten
radiance. One of them, Speedball 2, was recently introduced in a version for Nintendo's
handheld Game Boy Advance.«

Amiga Society: Website Renovation in Progress
Horst Diebel writes:
»So, the rebuilding of the page is beginning now. Because a few areas of the page
didn't get many visitors, and I unfortunately don't have time to spruce them up,
they will be shut down. This step is overdue, and many people have called for it.
The "Bücher" section will stay in place as the core. "Schlachtfeld" will get its own domain
sooner or later and be distanced from the society. The other headings, whether they are little
matters from Micha or me, will also be closed. Many people thought we should do this and
we announced it long ago.
The only update really is in the Little Book of Amiga Software - a few games will be found
here, which absolutely must be taken up again.»
