AVI to Binary

idiotproof

Anyone know how to convert or even if it's possible to convert an AVI to binary?

No real reason, just interested.

binary? what you mean? 0101010111100101? because that would make a HUGE file

dave_eire

you can view to file using a binary editor?

Oh it's quite possible, you just have to save the webpage and set it as your desktop background. Couldn't be easier

There's a load more of them here.

you could make bink movies.

Thanks CuLT,
But that just gives a static image, I would like a moving screensaver!

Once again, apologies to the OP for the devation from the Point.

Ack, I see you said screensaver, soz, I have one set up as my dekstop background and assumed that for some reason.

as in 1001010000111001 etc.

Cult that is disgracefully cool.

thanks dave

dave_eire

no probs!

as for the screensaver.
you could write an exe that would load and display a htm page?

one way would be use something like Interop.SHDocVw.InternetExplorer in the win32 API.

i am sure there are existing tools out there though?!?!

if you want me to attempt it, i might next week?

let me know, cheersd
