The late XV105
30th Sep 2009, 19:59
I have been given a copy of a short video to be placed on a web site where it needs to be playable using any proprietary web media tool. The twist is that it is a executable that I have established (using the nifty MediaInfo tool) to have been compiled in 1992 using the MZ EXE file format for Intel i386 (http://www.fileformat.info/format/exe/corion-mz.htm). In other words, prehistoric.
Without resorting to a screen scraping tool, does any PPRuNer know of a tool that I have missed in my searches that will either decompile and recompile in any more recent video format or a tool or technique which will allow an MZ format executable to be played within a web site rather than locally on Windows PC (where of course it executes fine)?
The source material no longer exists so cutting a new video is not an option.
The problem has been "solved" for now by zipping the file and placing it for download and local execution but this doesn't give the eye catching benefit sought on the site.
