New release of MacFlim, the Vintage Mac Video Player, now in version 2.0.18 ! #macflim

Get it from https://github.com/fstark/macflim (in the releases on the right).

As usual, demos are on the page https://www.macflim.com/macflim2

Changes:

* Now ships both a ``.dsk`` and a ``.sit`` containing the MacOS 1-7 Application.

No need to compile the ``flimmaker`` utility yourself anymore (unless on linux, of course :-) ), as you get:

* Binaries for both Windows x86_64 and arm

* Flimmaker for OSX (both x86 and arm) can be installed with ``brew install fstark/macflim/flimmaker``

* I fixed the ``--duration`` option of ``flimmaker``. Why nobody reported to me that it was broken?! Baaad.

So, for a better support, I created a discord server, that you can join here https://discord.gg/9rVDSw2D4N . Macflim things, discussions, help, suggestions, etc...

* Added support for accelerated macs plus with MicroMac Performer upgrade (and clones).

Last and most important, there is also a new dithering option, 'blue' that is as efficient as ordered dithering in low bandwidth and approaches the 'error' dithering look. Attached is a comparison in low bit rate between 'blue' dithering, 'error' dithering (the classic "mac look"), and ordered dithering.

It’s chilly in my workshop today so I fired up LisaLog, the 1-bit fireplace πŸ˜…

I got a case of the Cyber Mondays.

With the aforementioned scripts making it easy to put lots of files on the Lisa for MacWorks, I can focus on MacFlim! I was able to compile the converter so I could make my own flims in all their 1-bit glory! As there’s no sound on the Lisa, this music video felt appropriate. πŸ“£ 🎞️

#MacFlim is *THE* Classic Mac Demo.

If you had shown this to me in 1990 I would've lost it.

We were promised a special version of QuickTime for classic macs, and they never delivered. Now this guy has FULL SCREEN animation on the slowest macs.

I love it. XD

Here we are! An episode of 30 Rock playing in full screen with sound on a Macintosh SE. Go go 8mhz power!

Thanks, #MacFlim!
