I visited a site, http://www.farb-rausch.com, and they had movies for download that I found. They have music, bump-mapped textures, and lighting effects, but are still a mere 64k. Does anyone know how they do this?

Download one -=here=-.

It gives me the creeps.

an exe ?
U said its Movies / Music

Yes, it IS an exe. It's a Direct3d demo of some sort. How does it work? When you watch it, you will wonder how they got it into a file smaller than most of my term papers.

its a trojan, dont download it

it fuct my PC

Not a trojan It runs fine on my computer. Maybe you have an old 3d card. Did you even scan it before declaring it a trojan?

i scanned it with nortons av '03 with up to date definitons

and my 3d card is a geforce fx 5900 ultra..

What virus did it say it was? Now you've got me worried. I've got an up-to-date NAV '03 as well, and it didn't come up with anything. Maybe there's something wrong with my scanner?

i dunno but it said its a backdoor.netdevil

i used safe mode/dos to delete the bugger

Ok, I've just run it through AVG, NAV, and McAfee, and even Panda. NONE say it's a virus. Odd... My active scanner is AVG though.

hmm maybe its not, my security level is all the way up, it thought photoshop was a virus..

Those 64k movies have been around for a while - they are amazing.

Yep, pure brilliance.

By guessing - Its got no textures in the executable, its got 64k of code instructing DirectX what textures and sounds to generate, which makes it very small.

btw, its neither a virus or trojan, it hasn't attempted to access the net, and doesn't bring up anything on NAV, seeing as this is a popular file and its been around for nearly 2 years. SqueakyByte - Your virus scanner is too sensitive.

Nice to see candytron again. I remember it was done in part with lightwave and some of the music loops.

Thanks for the help guys! Up until now, I've just been telling my friends that the files are demon-possesed.
