HELP: MPEG-1 player in pure Assembler
 

Hello Amiganer !

At time i try to programming a MPEG-1 decoder / player for the 68060 CPU in pure Assembler. So far I have not found the correct instructions on the construction of the MPEG-1 format. :banghead

Has anyone here perhaps a tutorial about the header structure of MPEG-1 or any assembler routines on this topic? :bowdown

At Aminet site, I have this program with source code and some assembler routines found. http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/aMiPEG_1.1_src

Now you can see a "discrete cosine transformation" is needed for MPEG-1 decoding.

Thanks for your help
greets, Victim :crazy

heyy cool :) The fastest now should be Riva..

FFS, google man! There are millions of resources on the subject.

Erm, yeah....

Shame that RiVA development is over and the product has not been open sourced / made free. I wonder if the author makes any money from it?

The successor for OS4.0 seems to be recently active (1 year)

RE: alexh
 

Thank your for the links

I have a lot on google search, but most documents on mpeg are absolutely incomplete

This link is only for MPEG audio and not for the video format for the intended

But it has some code for parsing MPEG headers. Perhaps not applicable.

Did you try RiVA to see what to aim for?

Besides Riva is there any good free mpeg players for the amiga ?
mpeg2 more than mpeg1, mpeg2 being the standard dvd format.

My goal is an MPEG player routine for demo programming to develop.
This player then I will later make open source for all ambitious amiga demo programmer. :spin

There was Frogger.

You're never going to be able to playback 720x576i MPEG2 with a 68k Amiga. AFAIR anything below an 060 struggles to do 352x288 MPEG1 (Hence CD32 FMV cart). You're gonna need a PPC and a gfx card with YUV frame buffer support.

Thanks Alex that explains a great deal, will keep to pc for that. :)

Sounds a nice goal victim :agree
