Did some research and just posted what I found on IHUB post 8310!!. You have stated openly on this message board that you had worked with ISI and SoftVideo together with TMM that would of been 1994-1995 and you would of known PTK or at least met one of the creative minds of the codec.You would of also worked under Dr. Barnsley as it was based on his original fractal compression patents!!.That was when TMM Total Multimedia Inc. licensed SoftVideo to Spectrum Holobyte out of Boulder Co for use in its CD-ROM games including Falcon Gold and Star Trek: The Next Generation A Final Unity. That was also the Pete Olson era which put TMM in BK!!.You would also know that computers were a lot slower back then, even Kramer told everyone that his codec was a head of the times!!.That wasn't a "server farm" back then, but only a thought of what would be possible one day when the computer era would catch up to Kramer's creation has he stated"computer hardware of the time lacked the necessary processing power for fractal video compression to be practical beyond a few select usages. Compression results were only achieved by distributing encoding tasks over a network of servers and took up to 15 hours to encode a single minute of video". Then the SoftVideo turned into Trudef around 2007-2008? TruDef was tested by cropping out 1600x1216 sections of the original 4096x1714 uncompressed RGB 4:4:4 24fps StEM footage providing 1.95 megapixel resolution which compressed in the 8-9mbps range. The New TMMI has done a remarkable job with the advanced codec and everything is set. There is no need to start from scratch as Kramer pointed out many years ago;The codec has infinite number of possibilities. That's to bad that you are so negative with what the New TMMI Management had done with the old codec and all their updates. Somewhere along the way you got loss in the game or you were not up to speed with all the know how of what was needed to advance the codec. That's understandable as you have said you were only 18 or 19.Heck when I was that age all I thought about was surfing and girls, but eventually you grow up. Maybe you should swallow your pride and dust off your resume TMMI is looking for someone, if you can still do the job or do you have another agenda?. TMMI TRUDEF moves onward and upward Worldwide!!.
