Short: MPEG player with support for CyberGraphX
Author: thorgal@dedal.man.szczecin.pl

Type: gfx/show
========================================================================
aMiPEG 0.7 is a player for MPEG video streams for the Commodore Amiga.
It is based upon the Berkeley X-Windows player version 2.0, with major
changes in speed and size.
Main advantages are much faster decoding of the streams compared with
other products based on the Berkeley sources, and a real-time scaling
to fit on a complete HAM screen (no thumbnail animations anymore!).
If you are using CyberGraphX software from Vision Factory Development
you can also play MPEG streams in resizeable, true color window on an
Intuition screen.
=========================================================================
HISTORY
V0.1 * First public release
* Some cosmetic changes to be done.
V0.2 * Oops, wrong ZIP code in the snail-mail address
* Bug with scaling of animations >200 pixel vertical is fixed.
* Little bit faster & tighter
V0.3 * HAM6 rendering
* Somehow, the times got mixed up. NOW it renders to HAM8 with
6.5 fps (was 6.3) on the A4000/040 as the code is somewhat
streamlined and more parts are moved to assembler.
* Uses default public screen's mode ID now instead of default monitor's.
V0.4 * Forgot the Multiscan monitor ID (several people mailed me about this;
really sorry guys)
* Autodetect non-AGA chipset, force HAM6 in this case
* Minor speed-up in the iDCT (in fact not worth mentioning)
* This is an intermediate release; 0.5 will contain the TODO stuff
listed down there.
V0.5 by Miloslaw Smyk from now on.
* CyberGraphX support
* TODO stuff is still "to do"
V0.6
* command line parsing is now done with ReadArgs()
* DITHER GRAY support added
* PUBSCREEN keyword lets you easily select "deep" screen to open
CyberGraphX window on.
* MODEID now works with all dithers. You can play MPEGs in HAM
even if your default screen doesn't support it.
* fix for streams with width not divisible by 16.
* framerate control added (useful on "too fast" Amigas).
* I/O buffer size can be changed from command line.
* AmigaGuide documentation.
V0.7
* asynchronous I/O for faster/smoother playback from HD
* now aMiPEG works with OCS/ECS under Kick v40+, too.
