No, our regular web host does not have enough bandwidth or the correct
software to real time serve multiple video watchers. They are working on
alternatives.

And, of course, all of the stills were done with PostScript.

I mean, I would be more impressed if the video itself were PS. You can do
3D drawings, so what about the 4th dimension--time? You should be able to
write that whole thing in about 22kB of PS. ;^)

Speaking of MP4, it's ironic that such small PS files are rasterized, then
JPEG compressed. They look truely terrible. It would be neat if you
could encapsulate PS inside an MP4 stream. MP4 is a stream container, but
it's not specified for PS content, is it?

There are standards for variable quality, scalable, streamable images,
like JPEG2000, which perhaps could be integrated with vector media like PS
and SVG. I suppose it'll be several decades before we get a video format,
and the computational power to encode and decode it, which can do all
these things, in four dimensions. 3D vector animations with "unlimited"
resolution will be pretty fuckin sweet when it gets here, though...

On a tangentially related subject, Don, I don't suppose you know of
programs (or scripts) good for converting vector graphics formats, like
for instance Paint Shop files? All the ones I've seen create a raster
image. Eugh.

Hammond seems to be able to get animations in their PS files.
