Still in development... but it's coming.

Megastorm!

Dave likes 'em big. Screens, that is. He wasn't impressed with us showing Moviestorm movies on tiny little screens like Jeff's Nokia N78, David's Blackberry and iPod Touch, Johnnie's Android or Chris's PSP. You see, Dave likes to watch your movies on the biggest screen he can find. This is his home cinema setup, showing Saving Grace in HD on a screen about six feet wide. And believe me, it's quite a stunning experience.

(Now I'm wishing I'd grabbed a photo from last year's Cambridge Film Festival where we showed some of your movies on a real full-size cinema screen. Now that was truly awesome.)

World of Warcraft also looks impressive played on Dave's screen, as you'd expect. I don't even play the game, but I have to admit that some of the sequences are absolutely stunning when you see them that huge.

Running Moviestorm on it, and making movies on a giant screen is a very strange experience. It makes for a great editing environment, where you can really step back from your film. You get a very different sense of the atmosphere when you see the footage at that size, compared to looking at it on even a large monitor. And, as I've mentioned before, all the imperfections leap out at you when you're working with a huge image and chunky speakers. It's absolutely the opposite to having a movie studio on your lap, as you get with the EEE PC.

It's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it that counts

The first time I saw an eee pc, I knew I wanted one. I had serious geeklust. I still haven't got one, but that's mainly because every time I manage to set aside some cash, a newer and better model gets released, and I have to reassess my choice.

Moviestormer warmanivan is way ahead of me. Not only does he already own a netbook, he runs Moviestorm on it. Not just Moviestorm movies - the full application. He popped in to the office the other day to give us a demo (and to let me take some pretty shoddy cameraphone pictures).



Darn it. Now I really, really want one.

Ain't technology wonderful? Following our posts showing Moviestorm movies running on the PSP, and then under the defiantly mediocre YouTube client on the G1, long-time Moviestorm ForgeUK has sent us a photo of his iPod. Can you guess what's on the screen?


There are lots of ways to show off your Moviestorm movies, from the tiny to the tremendous. So come on - who can out-geek ForgeUK? Tell you what: I'll offer a prize right here and now of a few hundred Moviestorm Points to the person who sends me a photo of Moviestorm (or a Moviestorm movie) running on the most bizarre device. Send your photos to johnnie D-O-T ingram .at. moviestorm D-O-T co D-O-T uk, or just post a comment with a link to the image.

Following on from the earlier post about Chris running Moviestorm movies on his PSP, here's Johnnie's T-Mobile Android G1 running Moviestorm tutorials, as written by, erm, Johnnie. Now when he's at high-flying Hollywood parties and people ask him what he does for a living, he just whips out his phone and shows them. Never fails to impress, apparently.


Come on, who's gonna show us their iPhone with a Moviestorm movie on, then?

Moviestorm movies on PSP

Chris has recently become obsessed with putting Moviestorm movies on to his PSP, so he can watch them when he's out and about, and show them off to people. "It's easier than carting a laptop about and the screen shows them off beautifully!" he says.

If you fancy collecting your catalogue of movies (and your favourites of other peoples) it's quite a simple process. First grab PSP Video 9 - it's a free video converter that takes almost any format (MOV, AVI, FLV) and converts it in to the PSP standard MP4 format, making a nice thumbnail for your movie too! Then you simply drop the two files in to the PSP's video folder and you're done. Hit play and you're running, Moviestorm movies on the move!

Chris adds: "If anyone from Sony is reading this and wants to send me some free PSP films to compare the moviestorm ones against that would be great. Actually, come to think of it, I'm testing this on a first edition PSP, so a new 3000 edition would be handy to test playback on too, oh, and some new games, Loco Roco 2, Secret Agent Clank, God of War, that sort of thing..."

Let us know if you've got your Moviestorm movies running on any other cool devices.
