Re: [microsound] video glitch

[jake elliott <jakevsrobots@xxxxxxxxx>]

those bladerunner stills are beautiful!

i have had some nice results playing highly-compressed
divx videos.  this is speculation, but i think that
since the compression is largely based on similarity
between frames (ie, not storing redundant information
from frame to frame), if i skip around between scenes
i get these strange, chunky, moving ghosts.  i've done
this in mplayer and quicktime.

tony at beflix.com has some lovely video glitches from
various sources.
