I'm trying to figure out what the format of the "Combat Films" are
that the game "Their Finest Hour : The Battle of Britain" uses.

The goal is simple, given such a file I would like to write a converter
that generated object motion files for a set of VideoScape 3D objects.
(Spitfires, Messerschmidts, etc) That way, I could take the film of
my amazing dogfight where I take out 10 Dornier bombers, and convert
it into an amazing Videoscape 3D anim which looks a lot better.
Even if I could just take a "snapshot" and feed that into a ray
tracer to get a whizzy still frame of the engagement that would
be enough. 

Any, I didn't come up with this idea, a guy by the name of Wes Witte
did. But I really like it and think the Amiga would be an excellent
platform for it.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
