DVR - Digital Video Recorder
Version 1 - June 1992 - Klaus Hofrichter

With this Application you can record about six pictures per second video using a NeXTdimension board. The application is delivered with source code as is without any warranty and so on...

The code is based on VideoApp  (see your /NextDeveloper/Examples folder, thanks to Jeff Martin). You need Icon (comming with your NeXT, thanks to Keith Ohlfs) or better Movie (see the ftp-sites, thanks to Patrick J. Flinn)

DVR is a quick-outside-working-hour-hack with not very much (in fact: none) performance tuning. May be, may be not, there is another version next month. There is one warning: Before starting to record - lets say Star Wars, Part one - think about the memory you need.

There is a shell-script called companim for litte compression of the saved animation using tiffutil.

Have fun.
