- Hi !
-
- Is it possible to write a real good mpeg player for the amiga ?
-
- I've tried mp and mpeg_play, but they are too sloow (even on my
- 68030@40Mhz). I think this is due to the fact they come from
- unix-world and don't try to use amiga-specific features.
-
- I'm not an expert, but may be doing some pre-processing on the
- file (an index to start of frames for example) and only working
- on luminance values (and skipping the decoding of other color
- informations) could speed up the thing.
-
- It would be great if standard amigas could play mpeg anims with
- a good speed. I don't think the color is always usefull, working
- in black&white/grey mode at 20fps is better in my mind than having
- a pseudo truecolor anim in ham8 at 2fps !!. Further more, if our
- computer claims to be a "multimedia" machine, it is a pity that it
- can't display mpeg in a correct way !
