Andrew, just tried this on my Intel Mac that has never had JMF installed.
I see the frame and in the top left corner, after loading, it has a very
small movie clip of what looks like clouds moving across some hills. Is
the movie clip supposed to fill the frame?
Wow! I had 'kinda' hoped that jar did not include
Win. specific classes, and might work on some *nix
boxes - but had never dared hope it would work on a
Mac.! Mac' is where the JMF is weakest.
OTOH - it probably comes down to careful choice
of format (the MOV's were made using the JMF classes).
OK, I just tried to resize the frame and the clip expands to fill it and
now I can see what it is.
Yes. Now this has gone beyond "one guy's
crazed ravings", I shall need to fix that.
...Possibly even do something about caching those
enormous media files. (I just blew the last of my
100 Meg download limit for this month - it's 28.8K
till October!)
..Where is that? Somewhere in Australia?
Yep. Bald Hill, NSW (just south of Sydney), looking
south over (the top of) Stanwell Park - the focus is the
cloud, which I only caught in the edge of the frame.
Thanks for the test results. :-)
