    running a quartz composer file, converted to a wmv, through vlc, then scrubbing the hell out of the timeline. Digital video is surprisingly malleable, especially once you find a media player like vlc that refuses to stop playing a video even though errors abound. Quicktime wouldn't even touch the file. Could you imagine a movie reel projector at the theater that would stop playing the moment it encountered the first scratch on the film?

    This is really cool. It reminds me of a a time a couple of months ago when I was at a friend's house and his parents had bought a big flat screen tv and were subscribing to a high definition cable with almost a thousand different channels. My friend and I were curious to see what this is like so we decided to channel surf a little. On one channel it seemed like the video wasn't aligning properly or something and the video got all glitched out. I took a cameraphone image, but it's very small (see below). If you haven't heard of Cory Arcangel, you might be interested in his projects (see his website). I wonder what would happen if you opened up a video file in a hex editor and deleted random parts? Or what if you wrote a program that deleted parts systematically? Or swapped them? hmmm. Please keep up the interesting posts.

    Awesome! I've noticed stuff like that occasionally while flipping through channels on cable. I wish I knew a way I could voluntarily induce that effect (MTV could become watchable again!)
