How do I print a movie

[cinema guy]

Maybe we should invent some method of having consecutive images projected onto a large screen so many people can watch them.

[Jadedcarguy]

I think they may have one at Hogwarts.

Beat me to it.

Ow. My brain hurts.

[JLRodgers]

I've seen a prototype on TV (like in development by a company for future stuff) that's a flexible paper-like thing that's more of a monitor with memory than paper. Basically it's designed to use as a flexible monitor, to store small files (like a book), or to use in place of lights for building advertisements.
It's a "paint" that's sprayed on "film" that can generate pictures and text (or something like that).

So if one of those existed, you could "print" a movie. But really you'd be copying a file from the computer to a flash disk connected to its own monitor.

[Jadedcarguy]

Ummm.... ummmm... yeah

This reminds me of my old boss, who wanted a printout of the internet. THE internet, not a page, not a website, THE internet.

Right-o. How much ink and paper do you have?

[Bliss]

Well, in two manners it IS possible.

This way

Or, using flexible displays that you can call "paper" (e-ink sadly has too low a refresh rate for movies right now).

[Primer]

what does he do for his next trick? Feel colors? Taste sounds?

actually I've heard that some people with certain brain injuries can do that...

When I was growing up, my mother insisted on proper grammar (sadly, much of which has been forgotten). In school, when asked why I conjugated something a certain way, all I could say was, "It tastes right."

Teacher did not like that answer, but had to admit that I was correct.

[unholypet]

So I have a question, did somebody somewhere create printer paper which can display a moving image, and also a printer that does the same thing, I didn't think so.

Harry Potter?

[Broomjockey]

I'm disappointed in your people! Three people came up with Hogwarts/Harry Potter, but no one said Firefly/Serenity! And Firefly would be the more likely, being technology based and all

[Crazyredhead]

I think that actaully hurt my brain, owwwwwieeeeee. Just tell him to call 1-800-HOGWORT.

[Monica]

Maybe he was watching Harry Potter to much, and now can't remember which world he is in.

[powerboy]

Ummm.... ummmm... yeah

Seriously. All the trees in the world would not be able to get all of it

I like magic better. More fun.

Send him a printout, it s easy

At 25 frames per second, for n minutes, at 60 seconds per minute that is:

25 times n times 60, which equals:

A shitload of pages

print them out, send em to him, bill him for it

no problems...

[depechemodefan]

What Bagga said.

I remember once this guy comes in the library and got a librarian to type for him a reply in his work e-mail. He told the librarian that he couldn't type. Some problem popped up where whenever the librarian hit "send" an error came up. So my co-worker asked if I didn't mind typing for the guy. I asked why and she said "he can't type" and I said, "It's not too hard, you go to the first letter you want and press it..." and my co-worker thanked me and told me she would do it.
Well, I guess the guy thinks a keyboard is too new of a technology to master.
