Ft Fbt Discussion Threads

[geheimnis2] 12/2/2018 16:24

well this is a funny turn of events


a company which was once the most communicative around (newbs won't remember the almost daily news updates on the website) is now silent

virtually nothing from Iain

very disappointing...and yet...and yet...

McSean ... I would agree accept FBT don't send out Emails... 😉

[bonio10000] 12/2/2018 15:29

Surely it would have to be an ebook held in the cloud?

[mcsean2164] 12/2/2018 15:23

paul,

That's taking it a bit far!!

They'd never ask the client to pay for the book!

The client would get an email in their spam folder stating that they were no longer allowed to read the book and would they kindly return it via freepost at FBT's expense of course.

However, the email would also state that on request an extension of time to read the book could be agreed by replying to the email or indeed a non response would also be interpreted as a an extension request of the trial reading of he book. Score FBT, extension of reading of book trial by client!!

[paulcon1] 12/2/2018 13:32

I think they would lend the book out to the client (free of charge) for a period (let's say 18 months ) and then ask the client to pay for the book!! Just teasing.. 😏

[bonio10000] 12/2/2018 13:20

I'd imagine they would take advance orders and run out of money before it was ever published.

The book would obviously be a Fantasy. Have fbt ever gone 6 mths without an RNS on an earnings win? I remain of the opinion that only SS (if he is kept focused on R&D) and IM are fit to survive on the current BoD; the rest can go and cut the quite substantial cost.

A fairy story, with a very unhappy ending.
.... on prescription only, for insomniacs

[wgf1] 12/2/2018 11:39

Would the book be a horror or a mystery?

[bonio10000] 12/2/2018 10:15

I wonder what the immediate strategic opportunities referred to in prior fundraisings actually were?A book on the history of FBT would certainly be interesting.

[bonio10000] 12/2/2018 10:13

They might actually go 6 months without a revenue relevant RNS.

[paulcon1] 12/2/2018 09:20

McSean .... Same here, wrote a couple of weeks ago and to date not even an acknowledgement! GL

[mcsean2164] 12/2/2018 09:14

Another email sent asking how FBT intend to give an ROI to investors and another silent response ..

folks - fyi i amended the fledgling blackbird codec article on wikipedia:


...to redirect to the blackbird section within the more established forscene article:


...until such time that more references become available in the public domain to support its own weight. it was attracting too much heat from the wiki zealots/police and therefore was at risk of deletion.

btw if anyone finds publications relating to forscene that are worthy of inclusion on the forscene wiki page tag them below or add them yourselves. as it's the main presence on wikipedia it is worth ensuring it is accurate and up to date.

criteria: htTTPs://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources
"Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view). If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."

Would be great if they ingested some revenue and outputted a dividend.

"I think that is how they edit in Forscene, lower quality for speed and cloud then when it gets shipped back from cloud it is HD.
Mk or someone can explain better."

forscene provides flexibility supreme regards cloud based working

akaik

classic is upload masters to cloud and cloud produces proxies then user edits with proxies

but...

you can i believe have your master copies not on the cloud, but send only proxies to the cloud

peeps can then do workflow on your proxies

and whenever you want to publish against master copies the cloud will 'seek out' those master copies and download JUST the parts that are included in the edit

so...

you can avoid humping large files over to the cloud (if you want)

as files are getting larger and larger and more of them, this is quite a better workflow

whatever broadband pipe size you buy for internet, using Forscene means you always get more out of those pipes!!!

it's always quicker
it's always less costly

---

as to where your 'not in the cloud' masters are held, it could be on a customer site (e.g. they prefer to keep their own storage for that) or on location somwhere

i think the heavyweight version is productised as FORscene Server and for on-location there is Forscene Server Lite

i expect that software could be put on anything even a mobile phone (i suspect an example was eva)

recently there was also a virtual ingest server released but i don't know what the use case for that is, perhaps it's when you 1) want to use the 'common' forscene platform (rather than your own private one) but 2) want to have your own control of your media i.e. you master media is uploaded to a cloud server that YOU own but you use a Forscene platform that is shared with lots of other people and of course 3) do not want the hassle and costs of hosting that server urself.

"BBC?"

That show must be edited by the BBC' oldest trainee. Very annoying ad nauseam deployment of blur transitions…for decades.

[nanga parbat] 09/2/2018 08:36

Wimp Wimp Wimp, typical bonio.

[bonio10000] 09/2/2018 08:08

BBC?

They did say the profile was raised.

Typical FBT.

[mcsean2164] 08/2/2018 16:04

Just a shame it's at 3.7p, still bodes well I hope..

[paulcon1] 08/2/2018 13:17

Some hefty trading today 👀 ...

[bonio10000] 08/2/2018 12:29

I think our own resident blogs are better.
