Description: ReplayTools is a collection of PublicDomain programs which are designed to make your life a little easier if you work with Replay. It includes: * Decomp800 - 'LinePack' Replay compressor and decompressor. * Decomp802 - 'Movie 16:3' Replay compressor and decompressor. * CropReplay - reduce the size (in pixels) of a Replay movie. * GrabLarge - grab large movies with your Eagle card * Spr2Replay - convert sprites to Replay. CropReplay removes pixels from the border of a Replay movie. This is very useful if you have an Eagle card, as this sometimes produces a very ugly black border. GrabLarge allows you to grab a Replay movie in 320x256 pixels from your Eagle card. The movie is grabbed directly to RAM so there's a limit to the number of frames you can grab. Spr2Replay converts a list of sprite files to a Replay movie. The program only runs on Risc PCs, as it needs 15bpp sprite handling capabilities. Movie 16:3 is a Replay compressor and decompressor for 'real-world' frames, guaranteed to compress at least 16:3 (to 18% of the size of the uncompressed frame in 15bpp RGB). The compressor is compatible with other Replay compressors and Replay compressor frontends, eg. !AREncode or !RCompress, but can also be used on its own from the CLI.
