Problems
Authored by: Mato on Nov 14, '02 09:57:46AM

I tried once it worked. Just dragging the player, then the movie, then hit enter. Now it never function again, dont know why. I have [e026:~] at the start but I thought it was more something like [bin:~] before, but as I'm not very terminal guy :/ Can someone help me around here ? Spent 1 hour on this but cant figure out what to do :/
Here's the message when I try :
[e026:~] mato% /Users/mato/ASCIIMoviePlayerSample/ASCIIMoviePlayer/Users/mato/Documents/Bronx/deux_tours_teaser.mov
/Users/mato/ASCIIMoviePlayerSample/ASCIIMoviePlayer/Users/mato/Documents/Bronx/deux_tours_teaser.mov: Not a directory.

The strange thing, as I said, is that it worked once .... :/
Thanks

I belive you need a space between the app and the movie.

Try this:

[e026:~] mato% /Users/mato/ASCIIMoviePlayerSample/ASCIIMoviePlayer /Users/mato/Documents/Bronx/deux_tours_teaser.mov

Everyone should watch the Balmer video in this thing, it is one of the funniest ones I have tried.

I am still having a problem.
I created a directory in Applications called "ASCIIMoviePlayer" and CDed into that directory.
I then typed macmini:/Applications/ASCIIMoviePlayer myusername$ ASCIIMoviePlayer /Users/myusername/Desktop/SILLIES/sillymovie.mov

the response was:
-bash: ASCIIMoviePlayer: command not found

now, my terminal experience is limited, but it seems that i did this properly. can anyone see what is wrong?

thanks!

oh, cancel that.
i tried it the easy way and it works.

open terminal.
make window really big.
drag application into terminal window.
make sure there is a space character at end.
drag movie file in to terminal window.
hit return.
be amazed... this is sooo cool.


is there any way to capture/output this into a new MOV file?
