Short: PPC+68k MPEG Codec (WarpOS)
Uploader: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de
Author: MPEG Group, MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de (Porter)
Type: gfx/conv
Introduction
------------
This is a port of the MPEG Codec of the MPEG Group to WarpOS (like
found for Linux on the ftp.uni-paderborn.de Server as Public Domain).
If anybody has a clue about how to port the Display-Code to Amiga
(currently not used), please contact me. I currently am a bit low
on time, so i don't know if i have the time in examining these
Linux Sources myselves...
As to Copyright: The original README is included, the thing was
declared as "freely copyable" on the site where i found the source.
There was absolutely NO optimizing done, it is a direct port, so it
is possible, that this thing uses quite some Contextswitches. But i
think it is quite okay, a comparision to the 68k version gave a
speedup of 3.5x. For me not having a single clue about MPEG Coding
that is not bad, i think :)
Features
--------
- Public Domain
- Compiled with StormC PPC
- Does not need ixemul.library!
- Well, really not many features, currently (no Sound, no Video CD)
Requirements
------------
- A PowerUP compatible system with WarpOS installed
(should also work with V7, though not tested... might
give slowdown in V7...)
Usage
-----
Just execute the file, it will explain itselves.
The .par-Files are somehow needed for MPEG Encoding, but i really have
no clue, what i have to write into these .par-files... well, if you
are familiar with the Linux Version, you should also be with the Amiga
Version :)
