WANTED- Screensaver with GPL hotlap

I think that would be a cool thing. An 8:15 lap at the ring as a windows screensaver. Personally I think I would like the 'rollbar' view. That would be a cool screensaver at work. I have no idea if its possible to create one but theres a lot of talanted people out there... Comments? Rolf

I think that's a great idea Regards Bob

Have you ever viewed a Nurb replay from the 'nose' view? It's a gas - you get a real impression of speed! Tim L

If someone has a V3000 with video out, you can record it onto video or something, and create an AVI off of it. And use some standard AVI playing screensaver. Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery

I'm pretty ignorant about this, where can I find a standard AVI playing screensaver? TIA. Zog

And how big would that AVI be? 100MB's or something? ________________________________________________ Jon Van Ginneken "Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play.

I was able to convert a N2 lap (actually a 10 lap race) into a screensaver. It was an incredible pain but the end result was great. I recorded it to have multiple camera angles and all...looks like a real race from Texas (the track i used). It is however about 50MB in AVI format so size is definately an issue here.

A colleague of mine here at my company has created an AVI screensaver once. Not by real programming, in fact. He used some package; he's not in right now, so I can't ask him. But it's out there...

Depends on your compression ratio and frame rate. If this gets high ofcourse, you either have to have a lot of spare disk space, or use a CD... But 100Mb for 8:15, may very well be bigger :) Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery
