Short: VLab-Macro: Convert YUV + VLAB to IFF Author: Joerg.Hintze@Constellation.Nshift.de (Joerg Hintze) Uploader: Joerg Hintze Constellation Nshift de (Joerg Hintze) Type: gfx/conv Version: 1.1 Architecture: generic VLab-Arexx-Script Version 1.1, it Translates a sequence form YUVN- or VLAB-format to Amiga-IFF-ILBM 24 Bit Amiga-IFF-ILBM 24 Bit Deep Amiga-IFF-ILBM 8 Bit Black & White Amiga-IFF-ILBM 8 Bit HAM (256k Color HAM) Source: VLab-Sequenz Modify by Joerg Hintze, 07.09.2000 The old Script writes the Translated Pic over the grabbed Pic`s so all grabbed Pic`s was lost, this was a great shit. The new Script save the Pic with ".IFF", so the grabbed Pic`s are not lost, but the User can say he will delete the Pic`s after convert, thats the right Way. On 07.09.2000 I have added a Requester to save the Converted Pic`s in a differend DIR or DRIVE as the grabbed Pic`s. A lot of other Changes for a confortable Working 0) Requires ? A Amiga with VLab-Motion Card, apig.library (include), rexxsupport.library (Not include), Cyberview (include). Testet on A 4000 with CyperstormPPC 060/604e 50/233 Mhz, 144 MB Fast Ram, Picasso_IV, IOblix Multi I/O Card with Ethernetmodul, Toccata, VLab-Motion. 1) How to Install ?? Rename the old Script "SequencetoAmiga" in VLab/Macros as what you want, then copy the new Script to VLab/Macros. After this you must copy the apig.library to LIBS:. The Programm check`s out for that Library and for the "rexxsupport.library" if one of this Library not present the Programm breakup. Copy Cyberview to C: and change the Parameter "Board PiccassoIV" in the Arexx Script to the right Value. 2) How the Programm works ?? Step 0: In Step 0 the Programm takes all User Parameter and save this, then a Requester for the Translationfiles pop`t up, after this Translation Deep Requester pop`t up, a click on one of the four Deep Buttons and the Programm goes on with the next Steps. Step 1: In Step 1 the Programm request`s for the Save Path when the List from the grabbed Files are exists. After this Request the Convering beginns Step 2: In Step 2 the Programm check`s out for the Breakup Button, the Converting work`s in the Background, but a click on the Breakup Button breaks the Working and the Programm saves the last Pic an goes on with the Next Programm Step (3). Step 3: In Step 3 the User can select a slideshow, if Cyberview present, the Slideshow comes with a Requester after show a Pic, here can the User select that the Requester cames immerdaly or not, but he can also break the Slideshow. If the Slideshow over or the User have Breakup than the next Step (4) is going on. Note_1, if Cyberview not present the Answer must be NO by the Requester to start the Slideshow. Note_2, if Cyberview present, so change the Parameter BOARD in the Arexx Script to the right Board. If the your Board are not supportet, so delete this Parameter. Step 4: In Step 4 the User can select to delete the grabbed Pic`s this can`t Breakup, handle with care. If the Answer of the Question is 'yes', all grabbed Pic`s are lost, only the Translated Pic`s are aviable. Step 5: All change`d Parameter are setting to the Default User Parameter. 3) It give no warrenty by using this Script, the use of the Script is for your own Risc. 4) Problems ? Arexx Script Bugs: None Arexx Script testet on a A 4000, it works fine. Other Bugs: Yes The VLab Programm 4.2 has a Bug by the Arexx Command EXPORTAMIGA, so the Command does`t accept the Parameter FORCE. So it will Pop up a Requester that will say that the last convertet Pic is lost when the next Pic is loadet. Sorry Guy`s that is a Bug of the VLab Software not a Bug of the Arexx Script. This Bug is activ by the Convertmode Black & White and 256k Color HAM. 5) How the Price for that Programm ?? The Programm is Freeware. All User can modify the Script for your own. Have fun with this Arexx Script. Joerg Hintze
