Re: [LAU] Render and animate OctaMed songs in batch processing

Using old Haskell code by Claude Heiland-Allen I was able to generate videos for my MED and OctaMED songs from the Amiga: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/med-module The package provides two executables: unmed2: convert MMD files to text representation animed: convert MMD files to tracker animations in PostScript See the Makefile for how to turn this into a video. Perfectly timed, no frame drop-out. No video compression artifacts thanks to FlashScreenVideo codec. No need for a screengrabber. No need for a fast machine for screengrabbing - although rendering with ghostscript needs unexpectedly much time. However, animation is pretty simplistic. I have no binary package, so far. You have to build it using a Haskell compiler, like so: $ sudo apt-get install ghc cabal-install $ mkdir med $ cd med $ cabal sandbox init $ cabal update $ cabal install med-module -fbuildExamples $ sudo install .cabal-sandbox/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ You can watch and listen to the songs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkiGi6Y-Lso&list=PL724571620EC414BC&…
