Abstract
VideoScheme is implemented as an application for the Apple Macintosh, written in C and totaling approximately 100 KB of executable code. It provides a visual browser for viewing and listening to digital movies, using Apple’s QuickTime system software for movie storage and decompression [Qui92]. The browser displays video and audio tracks in a time-line fashion, at various levels of temporal detail. Clicking on the video tracks displays individual frames in a “flip book” fashion; clicking on the audio track plays it back; clicking twice in rapid succession plays back both audio and video.
There are only five musical notes, yet the combination of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.
