Short: MPEG-2 movie replayer with sound (WarpUP) Author: pt98jsv@student.hk-r.se (Jesper Svennevid),MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de (WarpUP-Version) Uploader: MagicSN Birdland es bawue de Type: gfx/show Requires: OS3.0+, PPC (WarpUP), AGA or CGFX-compatible graphics-card Architecture: ppc-powerup This is a MPEG-2 movie replayer with sound for WarpUP. It is a direct port of Jesper Svennevid's MPEG-2 player for PowerUP. But in the meanwhile there were TONS of changes, of stuff what Jesper's player does not support :) Latest Changes: -k parameter uses PIP display for people with Picasso IV or CV/3D. This requires Picasso 96 to be installed, it does not work with CGX. (Anybody having CGX-PIP Code for me, in case CGX supports this ? CGX seems not to like my GFX Board, so i cannot do it myselves...) Speed: - 24 Bit PIP: 35 fps - 16 Bit WB Window: 34 fps - 24 Bit Screen: 26 fps - 8 Bit WB Window: 22.5 fps - 8 Bit Screen with direct Video RAM Access: 32.3 fps - 8 Bit Screen without direct Video RAM Access: 30.9 fps - 8 Bit AGA: 29.4 fps Tested MPEG Video was 288x128 in size. System is a 150 MHz 604e. Changes since the last version -o6 displays in TrueColor/HiColor -o7 displays in HiQ in TrueColor/HiColor Only GFX Boards support currently TrueColor/HiColor, HAM/HAM8 is not yet supported. Pressing Control terminates the MPEG Player. I also did a comparision test with another WarpUP Based MPEG Video Player (which was never finished...). My player is slightly faster :) Near Future: - HAM/HAM8 Support - optional PIP support for Picasso 96 - someone doing me a GUI ? :) Changes since the version before (two new switches): -j Enables a fps counter. This might slow down things, due to Contextswitches. -w Enables Workbench Window Display, instead of Screen Display I also fixed the bug, that the old version (both WarpUP and ppc.library version) crashed, if no -b parameter was given). I also set -o parameter to -o4 as default. So you don't need anymore to specify -o4 if you just want to display the thing :) Note: The new switches are ONLY in the WarpUP version, but as the source code is included changes are high that Jesper will include them to the ppc.library version too in the future... In case people wonder: - wblib.lib is a StormC Linker Lib containing PPC ASM Code which for example does the WB Window Color-Conversion. - You need to install the included chunkyppc.library to run the program. Yes, chunkyppc.library is a WarpUP-PPC-SharedLib...
