Just in case you didn't noticed:: 'Crisot' (the same guy who released the 'pegasos in the toilet' video some time ago, about we laught a lot) released a video which shows current status of OS4 (please check the previous posting here on ann.lu). I have watched this video now again and again and it's normal to come to the conclusion that it's faked. No, not the content, but the speed. The framerate is not correct/realtime, it was made faster. You can spot this easily by watching the mouse movements of the user for example.
Is OS4 so bad that's required to release a video which is 'faked' in such way? I don't think so. And yes, I agree that the Prerelease isn't "the fast thing" i expected to get for my A1.
It makes me a little bit sick how some users are operate to spread 'propaganda'. Isn't it bad enough already that OS4 is so much behind the competition in same market. Now MorphOS users laugh at me for beeing a loyal amiga user. :-\ I'm already happy with the Prerelease, but I hope thing will become a lot faster, but such video is useless.
This is a request to all: please keep such stuff out of this community. When you release a video then release a video which shows true facts. It's from absolutly no use to 'lie' by publishing false information. In the end the normal user is the only stupid.
Crisot, release a proper version of your video to stop this! Thanks.
@kemp:

Heh, and you're complaining that *I* spend too much time on this
issue? :-)
Well, I have no video editing software (MotionStudio is not ready, you
know :) but I can see in mplayer already that the globe isn't spinning
enough unhindered by GUI usage (maybe about 1/4 of a revolution, if
that even) to make it possible to measure the speed reliably this way.
I think Crisot is the only one who can tell us what the real framerate
is with certain accuracy. I'd guess on 15fps but maybe it could be
20fps (though 15fps makes sense for a lot of reasons, technical and
because doubling it would be the most natural idea for a prankster).

What hassle? Filming it is a bit of a hassle yes, changing the
specified framerate from 15 to 30fps wouldn't take many seconds.
For your second question, well sorry to be rude but I don't get the
impression that this Crisot guy is very bright. Even so, as the whole
point with making a speeded movie is to make it look.. "speeded", he
probably wanted things to fly around fast rather than at normal pace
although with faster updates. Well, why don't you ask him about it? :) |
