can we use vbscript ? in winamp?
i think its strange because it's xml based player; why can't we use c++, or other programming languages in a direct x based avs?:hang:

congratulations on your excellent buzzword collection!

...but what did you want to say us?

read, think, post

1) Avs is NOT xml based in any possible way. Avs is coded highly in assembler.
2) AVS is NOT directX based, avs is ONLY cpu based
3) its very complex to make avs parse c++ to asm (what avs currently does with its script, parses it to asm and then runs it...basic compiler, theres where the speed of avs comes)
4) winamp 5 is not xml based anymore and winamp 3 sucks

Maybe you should try R4, i hear you can use bunch of weird-ass scripting and coding languanges in it :igor:

But for the future, here are some keywords AVS does not interact with.

AVS & 3D Acceleration = X
AVS & High Resolutions = X
AVS & High Framerates = X
AVS & Direct X = X (ooh sorry, you already said that. My bad)
AVS & other scripting/coding languanges = X

hmm, if you cant code in directX, maybe its a problem with your flash internet DSL. Remember that you have to keep your scripts under 1.32ghz, or it causes a buffer overflow in winamp's meta-kernel.

If that doesnt work, then you'll probably just need to switch over to a non-lossy GPS, That way the subpixels should be able to interplex with the extra R-flops that DX will have in the register node.

Hope that helps. :)

hey sidd i didnt know you were so well-versed in extended APS graphics stuff
oh btw you forgot to tell him to use a TB mask for the subpixels

The only way people are going to get avs to run better is to get a faster cpu, that way not only avs runs faster but your whole system!

do you see somebody complaining about speed here? anyways: CPU speed getting faster has slowed down, and now keyword is parallelism, and avs doesnt take much advantage of parallel computing (only dm and movement effects i think). Tho' faster memory and larger chache can speed avs up quite a bit if im correct

Or simply optimize your code, and don't use it if it's not needed. That helps the most I guess.

well me being a web-designer think that maybe we "SHOULD" put some of this stuff in ? Why not?, seriously though i dont want another mouthful of crap...

Give the guy a break. You can find info on how to interplex the AVS/DirectX library with the subwave visual modulator on this page:

I'll just include why do you mock me of my intellectulism, maybe im not good at maths *trying 2 improve* but, im not trying to ask as many "stupid" questions, and UnconeD knowing that im a webdesigner,... that was a poor effort of sarcasm... lol:igor:

give us a call when u get to know a little about yourself...:up:

ok to clear things up:

can we use vbscript ? in winamp?

why would anyone want to use vbscript for anything? it's incompatible, limited and a pain to write

i think its strange because it's xml based player;

wrong, winamp is NOT xml based

why can't we use c++, or other programming languages

use them for what?

in a direct x based avs?

avs is not direct x based and will never be

Well I think we're about done cussing the buzzwords, lets move onto grammar:
