ASCII Video Rendering
October 3, 2008 5:32 pm Oh So Random, Tech and SecuritySo, we’ve been developing a slick cross-platform media framework to standardize or products on (proprietry, of course), and I couldn’t resist building an ASCII text renderer. It was surprisingly easy using our SDK and a free library called libcaca… seriously, that’s it’s name. It looks okay small, but of course it breaks down as you scale up. Anyways, now we can watch video using xterm via ssh… use case? Who cares!… it’s ASCII video

Okay, now the large size (video source: D1 MPEG-4 30 fps):
