Re: touchscreen kiosk updating and billing

eeer, Chris, dude...
Including finding out how touchscreen works,
i'll estimate it at 7.5 to 10 hours to build it from scratch.


This is EXACTLY what director was ment to do when it was developed.
But Director has evolved a bit, and can do way more than this.

Have a look at my site. The products there are made with Director.
That includes reading / writing binary data, 422 serial control of VCR's, custom hardware interfaces, video conversion etc..

2 years ago I've worked on a project for Avatar, (new James Cameron movie, still in post production)
That was automated conversion of video assist SD NTSC AVI with pulldown to 24 fps HD AVID codec, including pulldown removal, timecode / reelname, as well as speeding up the audio to stay in sync. (23.976 to 24 fps), all had to run under command line control of a pipeline system. And Director could do this.
That took about 100 hours, mainly research and creating specs, as we started when the hardware for shooting wasn't even working.
