MOVIE PLAYERS : We already have some AIFc files which would be handy to play but Windowsbeats RISC OS in the video playing field. Shame.Um. Surely there must be some prog on the PC which you can load yourexisting video file into and same out as a batch of frames.Yes, you can add sound fairly easily.Replay does an *awful* lot of stuff that no other video playback systemcan do - take a look at the stuff inside !ARMovie.Documents.AVIedit - crap but can save out the file with an old codec that MovieFScan handle.Stretchy and bounciness during live playback - very impressive. Its a shamemost people never got yo see Acorn's !RPCdemo.Came on our RiscStations (delivered to my old school in Aug 2000). Infact, it came with a rather nice video of one of the machines at simtecmaking a RiscStation motherboard.If you look very closely you can see a StrongARM 233 and a line of whatcould be PCI/ISA slots, that aint no standard RiscStation MoBo, and uponfurthur inspection of the board and the Evolution MoBo pictures fromthe show I would guess that the board is that of the Evolution in itscurrent form, who knows where it will evolve to next? MOVIE PLAYERS : Did you know there are at least 30 amiga newsgroups? csa.hardware andcsa.applications seem to have better experts there too on this subject.AVI and Quicktime players do exists, but RealVideo does not, yet. Iunderstand there is someone working on one now though, but I don't knowwho. I'm sure well all find out as soon as it's released though.For free, yes they're not up to it. The codecs for the the newerstuff require huge licencing fees and there just isn't enough support on the Amiga to pay for it. OTOH, there are two commercial amiga programs that I know of that dosupport at least some of those newer codecs. MAVI is one but ratherexpensive as it has ability to create and convert animations. MooVID is another and is cheap, $10USD, as it's a player only.I understand that if you have a Picasso IV graphics card MooVID (butunder another name) is free.But I'm not sure if any of these will play the Star Wars trailer though.That seems to be an even newer codec and you even need to update theplayers on the other platforms to view it. MOVIE PLAYERS : I hate to tell you this but with your system and especially without agraphics card you just don't have the horsepower to use these type ofapplications well. Even PC's need at least 166mhz with graphics card to view them at adecent rate.Even I can barely see some of them at normal speed with my reasonablyfast graphics card and overclocked 66mhz 060. Mac emulation will allow youto see those missing codecs as the licence fees are paid for there, butthat slows down the playing just a bit more.This is a bit off subject, but the level of expertise in here seemshigh:I've got an A1200 '030 40Mhz and 16M fast ram. I'm looking for up todate AVI/Quicktime/RealVideo(if it exists) players, as my mate with aPC gets more out of the Internet than me. I've recently downloadedthe Star Wars trailer, but was unable to view it as the movie playerson the Aminet did not seem to support recent file formats, ie. thequicktime and avi players were old. MOVIE PLAYERS : I run Voyager - where can I find plugins? There doesn't seem to beany info on this at the Vaporware website...Stuck on a desert island, Marcel DeVoe put the following messagein a bottle and sent it out to comp.sys.amiga.emulations...Actually, Quicktime movies play better on Mac QuickTime 3 underemulation than on CyberQT etc. I played the "Making of Myst" moviewith ClickBoom's player and CyberQT, and it was very slowon both (*lots* of frame skip). However, boot up ShapeShifter (Ithink) with QT3, and play it on there, and it's perfect!** To reply in e-mail, remove "zibhos." from address **On 19 Jul 99 03:34:36 +0100, "Ritchie" wrote about Movie players:Yeh, go to Yahoo and look up Aminet and do a search for AVI.TapAVI works pretty well. It dosn't run through your browser butyou can play AVIs. I use AWEB or Ibrowse and they show anminationsjust fine.** To reply in e-mail, remove "tacpoj." from address **On Tue, 20 Jul 1999 07:37:01 GMT, Marcel DeVoe wrote about Re: Movie players: MOVIE PLAYERS : Not exactly. There are demo versions of both MooVId and PIV-MooVId. Themain difference is the PicassoIV versions supports PIP/Overlay playbackof AVIs and QuickTimes. Registration gives you IV31 support but not IV41.I can play the 1st Star Wars trailer with PIV-MooVId, but not the 2ndHmm, did that change recently? Could have sworn that the PIV version wasfree.I guess I was refering to the Star Wars trailer. I also have this 4 megmpeg called MONKEY.MPG, a short clip of a nature show that the E! channelthought was a riot, and it IS, that just bogs down and runs in slow motionon my system.But you're right, most smaller frame mpegs run okay. But they're gettingbigger these days. And this person has no graphics card, so that furtherliability against him.Well for goodness sake, with a 60mhz rated 060, it's about godamn time!;-)With that rating I'm surprised you haven't tried 75mhz, or even 80mhz,which would be the prerequisite 33% clock-up. :-)
