On the Motionstudio page of Titan Computer you can find new screenshots
of Motionstudio. Motionstudio is a new software for video cutting exclusively

particles effects that can be applied to every b-w mask, 40 video effects, a very
intuitive GUI and much more.

Delfina Flipper: Technical changes
The preparations for the sound card "Delfina Flipper Edition" have
reached the last phase before production. Some technical details had
to be changed in order to keep the announced price.
Here are the most important changes:
A cable for connection to the A1200 clockport will not be included.
A connection kit will be available separately for 10,- EUR. To use the
Midi-ports, a separate cable is necessary. It's a standard Midi cable
that is also used by PC sound cards, and it will not be included with
the Delfina Flipper. It can be ordered separately for 9,- EUR.
Pre-orders for the Delfina are taken by your reseller.

Statement from Hyperion: GREX and Warp3D performance problems
It has come to our attention that the GREX consumer-version suffers from serious
performance problems when used in conjunction with Warp3D and a Voodoo 3.
The same Voodoo 3 Warp3D driver-code runs substantially faster on the Prometheus
and the Mediator which is clearly a sub-optimal situation considering the much
higher bandwidth available on the Cyberstorm PPC/GREX 4000 combo.
We can only conclude that something in the consumer-version of the GREX is
interfering with the normal operation of the driver, be it the software, be it
the hardware itself or a combination of both.
It's equally unclear if the same problem arises also on the GREX-1200.
We want to take the opportunity to strenuously deny the rumour spread by certain
dealers that we are trying to extract an additional license-fee from DCE to
correct this problem.
Time permitting, we would be most happy to correct this problem although we fear
this may well prove impossible without the cooperation of DCE.
Thomas Frieden
Senior Developer, Hyperion Entertainment

VNC-client: MorphVNC V1.1 for MorphOS
Yesterday Mark Olsen has published version 1.1 of the VNC client 'MorphVNC' for MorphOS. The client supports encodings like raw, copyrect, RRE, CoRRE and now also ZLib.
VNC stands for 'Virtual Network Computing'. With VNC it is possible to control a computer over another computer with the help of the Internet by transfering the graphical interface from one computer to another one. This always works and does not depend on the used systems.

Mailchecker: YGM version 2.7
SFXSoft has published version 2.7 of YGM. YGM stands for 'You've Got Mail'. With YGM you can check an unlimited amount of POP3-mailboxes for existing e-mails without having to start the mostly prefered e-mail client which often takes much of the resources. YGM shows how many e-mails wait to be downloaded as well as their estimated size.
The most important new feature in this version is the added argument QUIT to finish a running YGM.

CCC: Rescue Your Personal Copies
Many CD companies now use copy-protection for PC CD-ROM drives. With this comes the fact that one can't make copies for her or his own legitimate purposes, for instance to listen to on a portable MP3 player. One can't copy a couple tracks on his or her own CD without problems.
CCC: » Those who don't want to return their purchased CDs because of this deficiency may view
this page to learn how to overcome it and transfer the tracks« (ps) (Translation: dm)

AROS News
The development of AROS proceeds steadily. Again we have a few new things to report:
Thanks to Fabio Alemagna, the shell window which gets opened when you use "Execute Command" now stays open until you close it so you can actually use it.
Staf Verhaegen worked some more on RexxSysLib.library.
Georg Steger implemented PGA_NotifyBehaviour and PGA_RenderBehaviour in gadget.class. The behaviour of the propg.class can now be configured with this to behave like on the Amiga or in a "nice" way. The default (if you don't specify anything) is "nice". The GUI of Font prefs was improved. Many bugs in diskfont.library were fixed. There will soon be a program to convert TrueType fonts into Amiga/AROS bitmap fonts to use them with diskfont.library without having to convert them (ie. you can open these fonts in all sizes without having .font files for them on disk). A bug in ReadArgs() (the flags /K/A didn't work correctly) was fixed, too.
Matt Parsons updated the AROS User Guide. Some debug statements in the screen blanker were removed. Our LoadWB has now an About menu item which prominently shows the names of the AROS developers. Credit where credit is due :-)
Henning Kiel, Fabio Alemagna and Georg Steger ... helped ... Matt with LoadWB ;-) (Note: That's an internal joke and only for the records... ahem).
Did you notice? No Zune in the last post. Of course, Sebastian Bauer wasn't idling around. He just didn't commit :-)
Sebastian Heutling added a program to install GRUB with RDB support. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Tool: Pixload Version 1.70
I made a tiny program PIXLOAD 1.70 in RXMUI which looks like Amidock but
fully MUI compatible. User can configure all the interface.
DESCRIPTION:
This little "bar" allows to you load any program or script by one click
on icon. A bubble help tells you the name of loaded program. Two help
files (GUIDE and HTML) are available.
New:
Pixload can be moved anywhere easily, contextual menu added!
What about:
It is a window with buttons including pictures. Each click on button,
loads a command line which loads a program or script. It was made in
AREXX and RXMUI for graphic part. You can modifiy everything (colors,
aspect, etc.. from the Pixload contextual menu).
Download: Pixload-1.71.zip (ps)

New Amiga freeCD: Chaos - Wizard War II
"For those people who like board games and for those other people who
like card games, Chaos: Wizard War II is the #1 Reason to own an Amiga.
It is the ultimate board game and the ultimate card game and the ultimate
strategy game all rolled into one. I get Emails from PC users all the
time who beg me to make a PC version because there is no game on PC as
good as Chaos: Wizard War II. Amiga Rulez!"
(James Conwell, author)
You can order the CD for 3 Euro plus delivery costs from the FOM website.
