I'm trying to locate a short MPEG video clip that was bundled with codec or multimedia developer software around 1999–2002 (possibly slightly earlier). My son and I used to watch it years ago and I'd love to find it again.
What I remember about the clip:
Format: MPEG-1 (.mpg or .m1v)
Duration: about 8–12 seconds
Looping animation
Resolution likely 352×240 (SIF)
Content of the clip:
A blue cartoon bird (parrot-like) hovering in place
Large orange/yellow beak
Big white cartoon eyes with black pupils
Rounded wings flapping
Visible dangling legs
Bird faces slightly toward the camera
Background is a flat saturated blue sky
The bird drifts slightly while hovering
About halfway through the clip:
The bird pauses
its face grimaces / strains
it drops a white blob (bird droppings) downward
then resumes hovering
The clip loops continuously.
Context where I saw it:
It came with codec-related or multimedia software
Possibly bundled with:
MPEG encoder / player software
Sound Blaster multimedia demo CDs
VideoCD tools
Xing MPEG player
RealMagic MPEG hardware drivers
The file may have been named something generic like:
bird.mpg
demo.mpg
anim2.mpg
sample.mpg
Does anyone remember this clip or know which CD / software package it shipped with? Or better yet have a youtube link of the clip
I'd love to recover the original file if it still exists somewhere.
Thanks
Dave
