- Short: MPEG player with support for CyberGraphX

- ========================================================================
- aMiPEG 1.0 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. Version 1.0 adds support for system-streams and
- video hardware found on some gfx-boards.

- 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.
-
- V0.8
- * a long-standing bug in stream parser fixed. Should play more movies now.
- * uses NewLook under Picasso96, too.
- * pressing ESCAPE aborts playback.
- * now uses (and requires) the shared version of asyncio library v39
- * file remained locked after unsuccessful playback
- * recompiled with SAS/C 6.58
-
- V1.0 MAJOR RELEASE (with guest appearance from Jussi T. Lindgren)
- * system-streams (interleaved video and audio) supported. (JTL)
- * YCrCb->RGB and scaling hardware of CV64/3D (and upcoming
- CVPPC/BVPPC) supported. (MS)
- * pattern matching and ASL file-requester (JTL)
- * full screen playback (MS)
