Didn't know amiga had the muscle to play back fmv? And indeed support avi file format!
I would guess Fairlight 242 was the limit, maybe an fmv cart on cd32... Interesting |

@turrican 3
RiVA and Frogger spring to mind, oh, and MooVid. You'll need a grunty machine to play them back though. RTG recommended. @Djay Amiga had FMV from early on (CDTV era). Just not the same compression formats as other machines (CDXL I think it was called, Alien breed tower assault and worms used it). It was less compressed than later standards, but ran well on a 68000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDXL Last edited by khph_re; 03 May 2011 at 19:22. |

Proper AVI files will run pretty poorly if they are at any great resolution. Too heavily compressed. Even an 060 would struggle with a bigun'. Been a while since I tested on my 030, but I think RiVA was faster, but still not great.
These days with HDD space being plentifull, I expect A big fat CDXL file would very look nice, but take up acres of space. A basic CD-32 (or A1200) could do 3/4 screen playback in HAM8 at about 12fps on a 300k CD-ROM. Dunno what a faster machine playing from HardDrive could do, would be nice to see though!

I know it's completely different, but I remember the problems I had running divx on my P2 350...

Me too. The more things change the more they stay the same!
It's always cool seeing decent video running on the Amiga though ![]() |

FFPlay is the best video player to use on WinUAE.
It is installed in C: by NetSurf. A newer version with a GUI is here: http://aminet.net/search?query=ffmpeg-git |

As a workround you may try to use "Run" before FFplay with multimedia filetypes (works for the user who reported the problem to me): {AmigaDOS} Run >NIL: C:FFplay {f} I did a search of the error message and found this: "Programs that use the ixemul.library can often fail with a return code of 161, (this is a bug in ixemul.library startup code)." and http://www.morphzone.org/modules/new...rder=&start=40 so seems like a bug is in the ixemul.lib. |
