- EEGS-TV-Player Version 2.0 (c) by Helmut Hoffmann
- =============
-
- This is a freely distributable video sequence player program
- for the EGS graphic system. Please note that there are currently
- some limitations, which will be gone in future releases.
-
- * EGS-TV-Player shows all sequences in the EGS-TV-Sequence format
- direct from hard disk. The memory usage is very low this way
- (also memory is needed to hold a frame in full size as loaded
- and in converted form for EGS). Since version 2.0 also random
- access harddisk sequences (generated by EGS-TV Professional) can
- be shown.
-
- * EGS-TV-Player does not depend on the vlab.library. It has its own
- very high quality (21Bit) color decoding routines. It can also show
- sequences in greyscales.
-
- * EGS-TV-Player accepts a file name as argument when started from CLI
- or pops up a file requester when started from workbench or without
- CLI parameter.
-
- * EGS-TV-Player shows the sequence in a loop, until the close button
- of the window is pressed.
-
- * EGS-TV-Player runs in a window on the EGS-Default-Screen.
-
- * You can start EGS-TV-Player several times concurrently to watch
- several sequences at the same time.
-
- * Please note that EGS-TV-Player runs fastest on 24Bit-Screens even if
- you view a sequence in greyscales. This is because the EGS-System
- dithers on lower screen depths, which takes lots (!) of time.
-
- A demo sequence is supplied in the egstvplayer-archive. This sequence
- has been generated with
-
- *** EGS-TV ***
-
- the ultimate Video Editing, DeskTopVideo, Blue-Box-Effect and
- Framegrabber software for the EGS graphic system and VLab-framegrabbers.
-
- It shows a standard rubber flying through a Norwegian landscape.
- This has been done with the blue screen effect. Please note the passage
- at the end of the sequence, where you can see the rubber two times
- concurrently. This has been done by applying the blue box effect
- a second time. With this technic any number of new foreground
- layers can be applied to a background sequence.
-
- For more information, take a look at EGS-TV. EGS-TV is shareware,
- the professional version (including harddisk recording) can be
- registered for only 30US$ (in europe: 40DM). To generate sequences,
- which fit into your memory, you can also use the classical version
- of EGS-TV, which only costs 20US$ (in europe: 25DM).

- Disclaimer
- ==========
-
- I tried my best to make this program error-free. It has been checked
- with enforcer and mungwall and works without problems on my configuration.
- Nevertheless, as there are so many possible configurations of Amigas
- and EGS-Systems, I can not guarantee that this software
- will work on your configuration. Especially the complex EGS-System
- does not have the desired stability in some situations. In cases
- where I found problems with EGS, I tried to workaround them, or
- explained them in the documentation.
-
- This software (program and documentation) is provided "as is" and
- comes with no warranty, either expressed or implied.
- The author is in no way responsible for any damage or loss that may
- occur due to direct or indirect usage of this software. You use
