yup, I read its actually Paula's limit. I guess that holywood codec overcomes this obstacle in one or another way. Would be interesting to read how they did it..

He didn't use cdxl, he used his own method. I was expecting him to pop up already

Again a null point in this discussion but I just thought I'd mention it.

Those are 320x200 vids?
Amigajay has all valid points.
But yafa proves that with delta compression videos can be 20ish% larger/better on the same bandwidth. Though I kinda have a feeling that in yafa case cpu waits disk dma to be finished...
And I also don't have clear picture how cpu and chipset share chipmem. I read that cpu use even cycles and chipset odd so that cpu could work in parallel. But someone more knowledgeable would be nice to write how exactly this works and am I pursuing something that's not possible or is it possible to have full disk dma stream non stop and cpu decompressing in the same time?
Also I'd be interested to hear from someone which xpk sublibrary has fastest decompresion on 020.
