VideoGrabber on Windows XP

[Vjstbenz at aol.com]

Hello,

thanks for your advice..

yes...i already KNOW how to use DLL files in SYNOPSIS...it is VERY SIMPLE to call functions...pass parameteres....etc..also it has a SHELVING system for DLL's in memory...so you can have 10 CALLED in one program AT THE SAME TIME.....this adds to the POWER GREATLY...
the cpu does not ahve to RE-LOAD dll's into memory all the time...

some-body pointed out the WINDOWS UNIX MAC thing...but it aint an issue for me....just need WINDOWS....you know...

SYNOPSIS is actually VERY POWERFULL really....beacuse of waht it achieves..you say VIDEO PLAYERS etc..is reading MANUAL STUFF and language..learning....but i can tell you...IT IS NOT....with SYNPOSIS...

it has a VIDEO TOOL...and a child can make a clock face with moving graphic HANDS...in  no time...with ZERO learning curve...

the DOCUMENTATION with SYNOPSIS...is SECOND TO NON..the BEST i have ever seen on any SOFTWARE product ...in 9 YEARS of bieng around computing so...

you can literally LEARN fresh...every time...by reading a few sentences of the manual...and you are BACK up and RUNNING....you don't need to FILL your brain...with a LANGUAGE and SYNTAX...

i rate it as a good software tool...for what it achieves....because OO programming is an ATTEMPT at this visual style...but the ABSTACTION with SYNOPSIS is right to the TOP LEVEL....you know....(TOTALLY VISUAL)

when you think about EVERY SINGLE THING in an OO related thinking style...and LOGICAL data flow...and CONTROL flow on a SINGLE LINE...you see the power of synopsis...

it is a RAD tool...and this s TRUE...it is VERY RAPID to make WINDOWS sofware....but for me...SYNPOSIS is more about HOW it allows you to program visually...

it's not HOW DO I MAKE THIS PROGRAM...now...it's WHAT KIND OF SOFTWARE DO I FANCY MAKING...with SYNOPSIS

like you say...i may be getting frystrated with...REV...and YES...that is a BAD sign....ofcourse things take SOME EFFORT...
but once a certain THRESHOLD is passed...it's hard to go BEYOND...

REV seams like an EXTRENELY POWERFULL VAST programming TOOL...and YES you can make software somewhat more simply than VISUAL BASIC....

but it's all still CODE...you know...i looked at the VIDEOS about STACKS VARIABLES...and OBJECTS....etc...and COMMANDS...

but was NON THE WISER,,,,, about TRANSCRIPT and how to program it...i did not learn what HANDLERS WERE...or ways of using MULTIPLE stacks in a design...or ANYTHING at all about GRAPHICS programming....

in other words...not much

it needs a PROPER video TUTORIAL...that explains an ENTIRE program...something of SUBSTANCE...with several STACKS...and some GRAPHICS PROGRAMMING...(moving graphics on screen)...etc...

this video needs to explain all the parts and principles of the Transcript language...that ALLOW this program to work...HANDLERS...COMMANDS...how code lies behind each OBJECT...etc....PROPERTIES...even include a function too

REV does not have this...

EVERY SINGLE usually has some kind of MOVING GRAHICS...clcoks etc....COMPUTER PORGRAMMING is almost a waste of time...without doing this...

yet REV does not have any examples of this...just FIELDS and variables and buttons...hmmmm

i'll continue...with HELP off these lists..

thanks

Ben
