- Author: Joop van de Wege
- Uploader: Joop.vandeWege@Medew.ENTO.WAU.NL
- Type: gfx/show
-
-
- This is the BETA_4 version of my port of Xanim to the Amiga. It requires
- 3.x and AGA or a graphics card and 3.x, needs atleast a stack of 10000!!
- and reqtools.library V38.
-
- It is able to play back:
- Quicktime movies, AVI (windows), DL and FLI/FLC
- There is support for 16/24bit Qt/AVI
- Only support 256 colors and not less at the moment.
- Dithering 16/24bit anims to 8bit might/might not work.
- Shell only.
- Save IFF pics possible 8bit or 24bit.
- (use option +Di8filename or +Di24filename; filename can be any valid AmigaDOS
- path+file, there is no SPACE between the option +Di8/+Di24 and the filename!.
- Files will be automatically numbered from 0-n. 8/24bit saving should work for
- anyone having 3.x with or without a 256 color mode.
-
- NEW NEW NEW
- 24bit display on the Merlin enabled. Tell me if you like it. Please don't
- select 16bit from the screenmode requester from the Merlin. It won't do any
- harm but you'll be watching a black display!!!!
-
- 8bit saving works now too. You won't need a 256 color display anymore. No
- display will be opened/required when using the +Di8 and +Di24 options.
- Kickstart 3.x still required.
-
- Fix for the width not dividable through 8. Display and save of any width
- should work now.
-
- Code for gfxcards included:
- Merlin 8 and 24bit enabled and working. NOT 16bit.
- EGS (largely untested, don't have one ;-) )
- PicassoII ( ,, )
- I you have one and know how to program, please have a look at the supplied
- code and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
-
- Support for: RetinaZ2/Z3 and Cybergraphics is in the works.
- If you have such a card and know how to program the beasty please have
- alook at the supplied example of the Merlin. Try to substitute your code
- for mine. If it is not clear please free feel to email me at:
