Playing video files under Classic Workbench.

Hello everyone. Does anyone have any idea how to play video files under Classic Workbench? Obviously low res videos. I'd like to know which is the best software to use, and which video formats or codecs are supported, or if there is a pack to install.

My setup is:
Classic Workbench 3.1
030 / 35Mhz
128Mb ram


Thank you so much!

for mpeg's I use Riva:http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/RiVA . This is the registered full version
Although i have used frogger http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/Frogger . Download the the key files as well, aminet.

For AVI I use Action, but this is on AmigaOS 3.9, I think it was called MooVid for OS 3.1.

On my 50 mhz 68060 with CV64 I play 720p @ 50 frames/per second, in 7 channel surround sound. Can't do 1080p yet. Might need to update the maths libraries.

Damn that is impressive! On my BPPC I struggled with SD videos.
Do you any videos of it in action?

Yeah makes sure you have FastExec and rom2fast installed. Went from 360i to 720p.


I've also overclocked the CV64 from 50 MHZ to 57 Mhz, to squeeze a few more frames out of it.

You might have to boot with no startup if you only have 8 MB RAM though.

Which codec and bitrate?

(EDIT) Better yet, any example videofiles to try?
