+This directory contains Python and C code for video stuff.
 
-	--Guido and Jack
+History:
+
+We started this in October 1991, when we had a large framegrabber
+board on loan from SGI for a few weeks.
+
+Later, when we started processing the recorded film fragments, the
+"CMIF video format" was revised several times, and we finally created
+an object-oriented interface for reading and writing various
+incarnations of these files, called VFile.
+
+When we finally got our own Indigo entry-level video board (in June
+1992) and a version of the Irix video library that supported capturing
+PAL format (August 1992) Sjoerd added an interface to the video
+library to Python (sv) and Guido wrote makemovie.py (based upon a
+still frame grabber by Sjoerd) to record a movie using it.
+
