Adtec networked MPEG2 players

[samsc]

when are you going to send me one - tim?

[hooh]

I used four of them slaved together once.
Worked fine, but it takes forever to upload the video files. The units have 10 instead of 100Mb ethernet and you're forced to use a dirty windows program to do the upload. Once the files were in, i started to like them.
Good skipping from file to file.

do you have to use a windows program?

Cant you just ftp into them??

[samsc]

On their datasheet it says it supports ftp?

TCP/IP Ethernet protocol ? FTP Server and Client (Concurrent)

[hooh]

Didn't try that. I did it at the rental company that supplied them, and they just gave me the setup with the pc to upload it.
But with ftp, it would still be just the 10Mbit connection.
And i also recall having to convert the dv files specifically with their software...

RBrowser Lite was the best free one I found, and use with my websites.

Yes it would still be a 10MBit connection....very slow.

There are quite a few mac programs that will convert DV to MPEG2 files.
MPEG2 files are used as standard on DVDs.

A Program that ships with Final Cut, and DVD studio pro - 'Compressor' will create MPEG2 files in many formats.

There are also many other programs that will do this.

Version tracker search for mpeg:

I know, but the video company asked me for a dv stream file (.dv)
I offered them to bring in a .m2v or QT movie with MPEG2 compression, but the whole mac thing scared them so they only dared to do it with a .dv file.

you can upload to this thing using a mac ftp program.

[samsc]

you can export a dv file using the quicktime mpeg 2 component.
then multiplex the audio and video using 'MPEG Streamclip'
