[Nettime-bold] What is future cinema ?


Well, not too many mails on one day or they go into the context
eliminating saussage machine.

Yesterday, I modified an extremly simple cgi shellscript of a german
university for mp3s into a divx content management system, sort of,
which sits at:


	http://intra.b.lab.net/cgi-bin/uzs106/test/playavi


you shouldnt expect lage dor or whatever, just some very short clips to
explain what it is about. 

Well, it is about the well known mpeg video playlist game, you should have
mplayer installed, and it is about mplayer http://bla/divx.avi streams.

http streams are "worse" than rtsp streams, you dont have the timeline,
it is bad if you have 1 million viewers at the same time, but who cares?

>From a viewers perspective the lack of the timeline, you cant move
forward, backward, is maybe the worst with http.

But see it this way: it is the same as in yesterdays cinema, you see a
movie from the beginning to the end, and this is still the best.
