[visionegg] Re: quicktime

Hi Mason,

I have a 1.1 release candidate compiled and waiting for testing on
Windows. Seeing as I've had this compiled and ready to test for some
weeks (since my "1.1 imminent" email) but haven't actually found the
time/willpower to fire up a Windows installation and test, you're now
volunteered as the tester. I have uploaded this release to

http://visionegg.org/Intro%20and%20Overview?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=visionegg-11win32-py25.exe


Note that I really can't advertise this release too much because it's
labelled as "1.1" even though it should really be "1.1rc1". In other
words, the real 1.1 will supercede this. (This will obviously only be a
problem if this does not become the real 1.1.)

Anyhow, I did my best to ensure that quicktime is working with this
release, so it should hopefully resolve your issue. Also, you should not
need to use a C compiler to use this.

This includes just the Vision Egg python modules -- none of the demo
scripts. If you could simply get them from
http://visionegg.org/svn/trunk/visionegg/demo/ and test, that would be best.

If you test these demos successfully (in particular multi_stim.py and
quicktime.py), I'll go ahead and make this the 1.1 release.

FWIW, I had to use Visual Studio 2003 to get this to compile -- now
quite hard to get, I think.

Thanks,
Andrew
