decoding. at 60 fps.

I was forced to go to PC when Apple went to Mac OSX. All my
drawings were in Claris Draw Pro which Apple bought and then
discontinued support and development. I also used a Mac 3-D CAD
program which was also left behind. I had to abandon my drawings
and move to AutoCAD which only runs on PC. I started to redraw
everything and then quickly gave up. I still have the Mac 9.6
sitting beside my PC for when I need to access those drawings. So
perhaps some media is always convertible, but not all types.

I moved to a drawing program for the Mac called Intaglio, which works
much like MacDraw and Claris Draw, but is built upon the graphics
services in OS-X.

Intaglio works with yesterday's software and today's.
Intaglio will convert old drawings from ClarisDraw and MacDraw
II/Pro to Quartz graphics so you can continue to use your old work.
You can also convert PICT images saved by any classic QuickDraw
application. Of course Intaglio also supports the popular image
formats today including PDF, EPS, SVG, and many bitmap file formats
such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. You can drag graphics out of Intaglio
and drop them directly into most modern applications such as Apple's
iWork suite. Because Intaglio also converts modern formats such as
PDF and SVG, you can frequently drag another application's graphics
into Intaglio for editing and drag the modified graphics back to the
original application.
This is one of the most user friendly drawing programs I have ever
used, and it is cheap. Almost sufficient justification to switch back
to the Mac...
