What are these things?
|
|
MMGIF is a
multimedia GIF player. The GIF file specification has been enhanced to add MIDI and
digital sound files in a GIF89a application extension block. MMGIF will perform
these enhanced GIF files. |
|
The MMGIF
player is freeware. There are very few restrictions on its use or distribution. It
requires the availability of a MPC capable soundcard (MIDI and Wave), and SVGA graphics
(256 colors). If you have any trouble, there is an MMGIF FAQ Page
here to answer questions. Currently, the multimedia GIF concept has only been implemented
on Intel architecture (PC's) using MS Windows. It's our hope that someone will create
player/viewers for other platforms. There is a text document here specifying the
GIF application extensions we defined in order to implement the
project. |
The best way
to understand what these things are is by seeing and hearing them. I'm making the software
available here. In addition, there's a freeware authoring tool, MMGIF WorkBench,
available for download. It contains a tutorial example with materials. A freeware Screen
Saver, SSMMGIF allows you use any collection of MMGIF and/or GIF files as a Windows screen
saver. We also have some example MMGIF data files available for you to look at and listen
to. |
