Telnet over to my BBS (guardian.synchro.net), preferably using
SyncTerm. Head to the Externals and look for "ANSI Movies."

I've posted clips from "Star Wars," "Return of the King," "The
Matrix," and "Empire Strikes Back."

They look best at 132x60, but they are still recognizable in 80x24.

Log in and let me know what you think!

I've posted several new clips from a Pixar short and from "The Force
Awakens."

I loaded SyncTerm on Win10 and took a look. Pretty cool and it brought
me back. The refresh was wack but I dont know if that was limitation
on running SyncTerm in a windows or the limitation of ansi in
general... would love to see it running native in DOS

edit: maybe I'll try again on a linux box from command line

Can you explain a little more about the refresh? Do you mean that it
was slow? Or that it was skipping around?

My movie player has some timing controls that *should* ensure the
movie lasts the right amount of time, no matter your connection speed.
If you have a fast connection, the movie will play for 30 seconds at a
high frame rate. If your connection is slow, it should play for 30
seconds at a much lower frame rate.
