File Compression Benchmark

you might have already found this somehow,but this thing is absolutely amazing...it`s only 64Kb,so i can attach it here. i can`t explain how cool this is,it`s called the Product.

Do not download this if you do not have an nVidia grapihcs card. It will crash your computer. Read the files that come in the zip.

(Someone posted this a while back and they thought it was a trojan because it was crashing computers.)

Personally, I thought it was super-cool. I've still got it somewhere on my computer. It's one of the files that was salvaged when my HDD died.

yeh,i forgot to say that. i just want to know how they crammed all of these seemingly gigabytes of textures,music,and camera angles into 64Kb! thats just madness...i want this compressor...bad

Neo was banned for this so why not Mr Insomniac7891?

What's this about nvidia only? I ran that the other year on my crappy Intel graphics card. So did a friend. Ran great.

n_ick2000 · 15th January 2002, 00:38

That was the coolest thing ever. That is some pretty good compression. Wow.

iomegajaz · 15th January 2002, 01:00

Won't run on my work PoS. What exactly is it?

They say that it won't run except on nVidia cards, I believe. I know it crashes on 3dfx cards.

Insomniac, they don't compress all the information. The bitmaps don't exist at all. They are created on the fly, by the program itself. The program has algorithms in it, and all additional information it needs to create the bitmaps.

The music is MIDI (or something similar). It would be huge if it was WAV, but it's not.

The camera angles . . . well, they are actually there, but I don't know how much info it takes to set a camera angle. Probably not a lot.

The program is still pimp.

banned? oh come on,im just showing something that i thought was mighty cool...even though it is old news. where`s the love in this forum?

i found this thing last summer and decided to post it at every single forum...most of the forums had never seen it,this has been the only one that hasn`t. sorry people,i can be a dumbass sometimes,just bear with me.

Curi0us_George · 15th January 2002, 01:06

Neo didn't actually get banned for this. I think he might have been temp-banned, though. They thought it was a trojan and locked the thread.

Thank you for not making me have to type that.

It ran perfectly on my S3 Savage4. Oh, it's not that it works only on NVidia cards, it's just that I think that's the card the developper used, so he can only give anything close to a guarantee of stability on that card because it was on that card that he worked out the bugs in The Product.

Curi0us_George · 15th January 2002, 04:37

They pretty much guaranteed on the site that it would crash a 3DFX card instantly.

I have edited the post and removed the attachment.

Curi0us_George · 15th January 2002, 07:38

What? It's not harmful. It just crashes computers with 3dfx graphics cards.

Well, anyone who wants it can get it at http://www.theproduct.de/

Don't you think that qualifies for "harmful" ?

insomniac · 15th January 2002, 07:47

no,you could have just said that you need a modern graphics card to run it,it`s not harmful,it`s just has limited compatiblility.

insomniac · 15th January 2002, 07:48

and besides,if you have a 3dfx card,you`re computer should crash with most anything on the internet today.

Curi0us_George · 15th January 2002, 07:48

No. I wouldn't think of it being harmful unless it did actual damage.

If you want, you can remove my link. I just think that as long as everyone knows that they don't have a guarantee of stable operation except on nVidia cards, it's not a `danger`.

This file is so cool! I couldn't believe my eyes. The sound track is very good too. I dont know how they could possibly fit all that graphics and sound in a 64kb file only. Even if they render it real-time, there would be a hell lot of code. The file should not have been removed from the first post. But it dosent matter anyway, as anyone can get the file from the link provided.
