DataData, Turn your bits into sweet music

August Black

From the site:
DataDada, version , is an application that will turn the stored data on your hard drive into a movie complete with sound, image, and subtitles. Essentially, it reads all the data on the disk (or, optionally, only specific directories), and writes the data to your computer’s sound card and video display. Additionally, it will display the name of the file being read as a human-understandable subtitle.

Looks like fun.. I will have to give a run.

At the Consumer Electronics Show this year, two companies made what seem to be the first serious attempts at MPEG-4 dedicated, tape-less camcorders. These digital camcorders claim to have advantages of high video compression, they are tightly housed within attractive, small profiles and generally are tapeless.
