[9fans] video of an acme session

here's a screen capture of an acme session that might be useful to
those who are new to acme. i've put the tools (mspy script and
tippi.c) that were used to follow the mouse buttons on sources. with
brucee's help it went together quickly and he did the hard bit in mspy
plumbing.

i used the windows media encoder (free download from microsoft).

no, skip did most of the work. i just reminded him how neat
plan9 is and, as usual, that most of the work is already done
for you.

that may or may not have been an unfortunate choice;
on a mac with osx 10.5 (leopard) I'm so far unable to view it.
(maybe a more experienced mac user can view it?)

I cheated and used XP on Parallels. Usually, Flip4Mac works with .wmvs,
but not this time. Is there supposed to be an audio track?

Ah, I love how 9fans has become a mac tech support group...

Maybe it is time we offocially rename the list to jobsFans or something.

maybe somebody can transcode it to mp4 or flash video.

In case anyone's interested, here's a quick and dirty reencode in h264:

http://www.ipgp.jussieu.fr/~lonjaret/acme_session.avi

my encoding skills are rusty and it seems mencoder does not deal well
with .wmv as input, that's why the size is way bigger than the
original :/
but hey, b/w is cheap nowadays...
If requested, I'll try to do a better one later.

Cheers,
Mathieu.
