MovieShop apps?

[jaesonk]

I'm putting my A4000 back together after a recapping & refurbishment. I want to set up a VLM video edit system on it.

Anyone have BigDisk by Janos Farkas for the VLabMotion card to upload to the Zone? VLM & MovieShop don't like partitions bigger than 4GB, or beyond the 1st 4GB of any drive. VLM & MovieShop ignore the usual system patches that fix this. BigDisk was the only work-around solution.

Also looking for VirtualEngine and/or VirtualCompose for use with MovieShop.

Other MovieShop related plug-ins/add-ons/FX-disks/etc welcome too.

Thanx.

I only have the BigDisk demo. Maybe someone can crack it. Let me know if you want it, and I will upload it to The Zone!

I am also looking for VirtualEngine and/or VirtualCompose for use with MovieShop, I only have the demo versions.

Go ahead and add the demo of BigDisk to The Zone! Thanks.

What are the demo limitations? Does it need a key to activate the full features?

Ok, the demo version is in The Zone!
Hopefully someone can crack it

The demo version of the product is called 'bigdemoinit',
it works very similar to biginit, except:

- It will not read the size of your connected hardisk, but assumes,
that it is larger than 6GB.
- It creates 3 2GB units, so you can test if you can write and
read the hardisk on parts above 4GB.

Thanks. Before discovering the 4GB limitation of VLM & MovieShop, I was considering a large drive with multiple 4GB partitions. BigDisk seems to be the only solution.

My alternative option is an externally accessible CF drive in one of the floppy bays. I could use different 4GB cards for individual projects.

I'd still like to find a full version of BigDisk though.

Using the wayback machine, I found an old page describing BigDisk.

I havent tested it myself, but I believe Elbox IDE software has a similar workaround for Amiga partitions (ide split option). It may also work with MovieShop.

You may also try this: http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/splitdisk.lha

It is fully functional, not a demo. And still supported by the author

Woul you be so kind to document the Movieshop Operator format?

MacroSystem has long left VlabMotion & DraCo users on their own, and you seem to be the only one remaining who could share this information. Maybe release your source as a working example?

Please, give it a thought.
