A dozen or more captures strewn out into a row just by hitting a button.
This file measures 1200 x 300 pixels. That's an aspect ratio of 4.00 if you
were a movie nut as myself there's some nifty info I dug up.
This aspect ratio should you choose to accept it is known to cinephiles as
POLYVISION!  First used in 1927 on Abel Gance's Napol?on. And it took three
projectors each projecting standard  1.33 aspect ratio images. (3x4)


Cinerama at full height would have got you a 463 x 1200 images for an aspect
ratio of 2.59
