- There's a new mpeg_play version just appeared on amiga.physik.unizh.ch
- which now runs in 2.04 or 2.1... 3.0 is not required. It's dog slow
- on my 020 (yeah, I still use a 2500/20, if you want to help me
- upgrade, drop a dime in the tin cup on yer way out), and it's giving
- me between 1 and 2 frames/sec. And its output is not exactly what
- I would describe as "glorious", but hey it's there and it works.
- The archive even includes a 68000 version. I don't even want to think
- about how slow that one would run.
-
- Now this begs the question.. is anyone working on any MPEG
- anim BUILDERS for the Amiga? Barring that, who's got a list of
- sites with a goodly supply of MPEG movies?
