Re: code_swarm
Didn’t know about the Mac incompatibility, sorry guys. Just assumed (wrongly) that an H.264 avi would play natively in QT *slaps hand*
I’m going to re-encode it for colak anyway in (hopefully) what my PC thinks is a Mac-friendly .mov format, and I’ll post the result here.
Anyone know what I should be using in terms of video format/codec, and audio format/codec? I’ve currently used ffdshow to generate AVI/H.264 and interleaved MP3 @ 192kbps. Once I’ve re-coded it I’ll try it on the MacBook here to see if it plays back in QT, but if any Mac heads out there know definitively what formats I should be using in ffdshow (or SUPER), please let me know to save me arsing around trying to find the right one. Thanks.

Re: code_swarm
I credited jm for the graphics at the end and re-uploaded the original file. I’ve also made what I think is a Mac version. It’s a .mov that uses the H.264 codec (because it’s awesome) and the more Mac-friendly AAC audio codec at 192kbps.
It’s been transcoded direct from an uncompressed (6Gb!) original file using SUPER and is about 33Mb now. It plays back on my wife’s MacBook in that awful QuickTime junk (sorry Mac friends: pretty much everything else about the OS is brilliant, but QT and iTunes are the pits) so I think it should be ok. Please report if it works or not.

Re: code_swarm
Cool! mac version is still interlaced, but it’s still brill.
Here’s an idea. I wonder if you could do a code-swarm based on the frequency of forum posts… Now that would be superfun.

Dammit, thought I’d got rid of the interlacing. Must… check…… output… settings… again.

Sorry for the delay…had to dig up my code_swarm config. Loads of PNGs here. Edit: Crap. New PNGs were generated for the entire history, and they don’t sync with the previous ones.

That would be great. I’m not familiar with PunBB’s db, but if we were able to output to a file in this format, it’d work:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<file_events>
<!--use .html for the forum?-->
<event filename="post.html" date="unix_timestamp" author="username" /> <!--foreach-->
</file_events>Last edited by jm (2008-08-16 13:59:38)

Nuts, you’re right. Well, it’s close enough to a complete timeline already, so I guess it stays as it is; I don’t relish the task of doing right-click->save, right-click->save… from your website directory listing for 5664 files :-D
So is everyone happy with it in its current state, in terms of format, output settings etc? Colak: Are the codecs suitable for your presentation and is the interlacing ok as-is, or will you need a non-interlaced version? I can do a new one for you if it’s no good; just let me know and I can find some downtime on my machine to let it render for half an hour or so. It’s not like I don’t have 3 or 4 other computers to choose from… <grin>

hi Stef,
scrapbook should do it for you. With a descent connection it takes no time.
