I have posted this on AllAboutSymbian (http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=57353#57353).

I was looking through my hard drive and found something I was interested in quite a while back.

I have a file (actually several files) that is 64kb in size. Now I know some of you guys are wondering "64kb seems like a small amount of space compared to the graphics current games have with full stereo music."

Well this file is in fact about 15 minutes of full 3D graphics, stereo sound and all in 64kb.

I'm sure some of you have heard of this before. It is a demo for the PC created by Farbrausch. They're a group of people from Germany who come together to produce a small (in size) clip, with unbelievable content. http://www.farb-rausch.com/. I've tried to understand and get hold of the software they use to create these amazing clips, but being the non-programmer that I am, I didn't understand much.

My point is, I could fit about 25 of these clips (more or less) into a single floppy disk. So how come we can't integrate this kind of technology into the 7650? Is it memory problems? Graphics problems? Language? Dunno..

I hope some of you guys can help, especially the programmers.

I have attached one of their popular clips (in zip format) "fr-08 The Product" Decompress it to 64kb, Watch it and be AMAZED! and I'll hope to hear from you guys soon. And if you wish to see more clips just ask me to post some more up or go to their website http://www.farb-rausch.com/

The file can be downloaded in allaboutsymbian.com or thru the farbrausch website

It uses actualy the DirectX files so forget about 64kb.... It would be about 20MB without DirectX files....
