I love this and I used it for fun occasionally. On my MacBook I also used Cathode before, but after I learned about Cool Retro Term the thought crossed my mind that the former might be a rip-off of the later. I do not wish to make any false accusations but the effects are pretty similar and maybe other commenters can confirm or dispel the suspicion. What I am looking for since some time now is a way to create these effects in good quality in a compositor. It would be much more convenient that way. Free and open would be cool, but I'd also pay for it. Does anyone know if there is a good plugin that works with Nuke, Natron or Blender?

> the former might be a rip-off of the later If you're suggesting Cathode might be ripping off Cool Retro Term, I think Cathode[1] (Jan 25, 2011) predates Cool Retro Term[2] (Nov 22, 2013) by almost three years.

  Oh, cool. I'm a bit surprised, but it makes sense since I've known Cathode well before.

  Cathode was also more full-featured, e.g. I don’t think CRT has sound effects or the dying tube effect. It’s been a while and I’m not on my computer but I’m not sure it even has the bitrate modifier.
