- ReadMe for !SplitMPEG by Stefan Brueck
- --------------------------------------
-
- !SplitMPEG is a front-end for the command-line MPEGdecode application ported
- to RiscOS by Soren Lange & Henrik Bjerregaard Pedersen. This is a port of the
- Berkley MPEG decoder version 2.0 (27.01.93)
-
- The MPEGdecode application has been included with this FrontEnd application.
- The full set of MPEGworks can be found on Hensa, the Arcade BBS, and possibly
- PD libraries. The full program will allow encoding of MPEGS.
-
- This program requires the FrontEnd modules as supplied with the Acorn C compiler.
- If you already have C then these modules are already installed in your !System
- folder, otherwise you will have to install them from the CD before this
- application will run. Load Configure by double-clicking on !Boot. Click on
- the System option, and then drag the !System folder from the SplitMPEG archive
- onto this window to update your System folder. You may need to reboot.
-
- !SplitMPEG converts MPEG movies to type-2 Replay movies. Unfortunately these
- movies will be very large as they are uncompressed. A typical 700K MPEG with no
- sound will take up 17MB as a replay file. Compressing this with !AREncode will
- create approximately a 2MB replay file.
-
- MPEGS with sound will not retain their sound when converted to Replays.
-
-
- Converting an MPEG
- ------------------
-
- Load the !SplitMPEG application, and drag an MPEG movie onto the iconbar icon.
- The main window will then be displayed. Select 'Acorn Replay' as the output
- for the convesion, and then specify the 'Path & Filename for film'. This *must*
- be on a hard disc with at least 20 Megabytes free. Now click Run. A status
- window will inform you when the conversion is complete.

- Compressing a Replay Movie
- --------------------------
-
- To successfully compress a !SplitMPEG-converted movie select 'Moving Lines' as
- the compression method.
