Estonian News Teletext 9 August 2007

An little experiment on teletext design I tried in august. Page switches within every 30 seconds. In the future, the time will be decreased to 20 seconds.

Note: Original version had also self-made music, but I decided to not to include it later to preserve bitrate.

This is great. What did you use to make it, Photoshop or a proper teletext editor? I am considering doing something similar, perhaps using the Cebra editor. Love the graph!

I did the page content and header with Cebra editor. I put the header and content together with MS Paint and saved in .gif format with Irfanview. Then I saved this video file with Windows Movie Maker

Oh right, cool. For something so simply created and put together it works incredibly well. I will be sad to see the death of teletext in the UK when the big analogue switch off happens in 2012.

Yes, it is sad :( Good news from my country is that teletext won't die here. I just got hooked up to digital television and the traditional teletext is still in existence here on Estonian digital terrestial platform as well. In addition, Finnish digital channels show traditional teletext too.

@tarmotanilsoo Bleh - I spoke too soon! In 2010, teletext was axed along with analog television with as little fanfare as possible. D**n those internet addicts who think Internet is some kind of silver bullet and as such we don't need any other means of communication

[tarmotanilsoo]

No problem...
