Short: MPEG player V2.01 executable Uploader: balzer heike informatik uni-dortmund de Type: gfx/show Architecture: m68k-amigaos MPEG Video Software Decoder (Version 2.0; Jan 27, 1993) Lawrence A. Rowe, Ketan Patel, and Brian Smith Computer Science Division-EECS, Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley Amiga version 2.01 (Feb 12 1993) by Michael Balzer Student of Computer Science, Univ. of Dortmund, Germany Intro ===== This is the third release of the first public domain MPEG viewer for the Commodore Amiga. Please also read the file "README" for some general information about this software. This player needs at least a 68020 CPU (and 881 FPU). Compile yourself if you need a 68000 version, or you might give Kamran Karimi's Run68017 68020 emulation a try but I don't guarantee it will work. AmigaOS 2.04 or higher required. AmigaOS 3.0 recommended. This player needs Markus Wild's ixemul.library. As this lib still doesn't seem to exist on everyone's machines, I have included it with this distribution. For the complete GCC distribution contact your next FTP server. And... NO, THIS PLAYER DOESN'T NEED X-WINDOWS! Changes against V1.22 (second release): * Release 1.23 (not released due to 2.01): * - Dither mono & threshold now work (fast!) * - New option: -saveiff framename_%d.iff (guess for what ;-) * Saving currently forces screen mode. No support for 24 bit yet * - Added new option: -amiga screen:mode/depth/width/height, * reworked option dependancies * * Release 2.01 (Feb 12 1993): * - Based upon the new 2.0 release of the mpeg player for UNIX * - No need to enhance color allocation, as the new player * allows to set the range values (ncolors = l_rng*cr_rng*cb_rng) * - 24 Bit IFF save mode implemented Source ====== There are two archives, one containing the binaries (and other usefull stuff) and the other one containing the sources (split up into original UNIX part plus special Amiga changes & extensions). I included the necessary X11 header files (don't think, many Amiga programmers have them around). The Makefile and code are for Markus Wild's port of the famous GNU GCC C compiler (thanks again, Markus!). Don't forget to build an amiga.lib version 39.x for your GCC before trying to compile the code. Famous last words ================= Send me email if you have questions, comments or suggestions!
