I love the disk mode
I have been using it to make 4Kx4K images for a long time.
In the pure DOS environment it speeds things up to make a RAM disk
and a bat file to transfer the Fractint software to the RAM drive
and run Fractint on that RAM disk.
(since the Disk Video uses disk reads and writes to build the image)

Thanks for reminding me of disk video mode! As
I am trying to get the time and energy to do more audio fractal
explorations it may have saved me some rediscovering. Since the
visual part of the fractal is of little or no interest/use to me
in producing audio fractals, I would often use disk video mode
to listen to the sounds while in a dos box. I could control my
sound card and recording modes quite easily within windows, and
when necessary get back into the fractint window to adjust
parameters within fractint. While the speed of disk video may be
of great use for most, it is irrelevant to me...I always use
orbit delay - often with values of 1000 or more.

Does anyone have experience or ever
use the "Disk Video" mode?

I CAN'T BELIEVE I just discover this
after using FractInt almost 20 years
now !!
I have for many years now!!!
I use it when I have to, for machines that will not display
FractInt correctly, or when needing specialized video modes
(especially large resolutions). Usually works quite well, and
somewhat faster.
Just prefer seeing the generated images more. :-)
Sincerely,
P.N.L.
