Author: epgbd@cluster.urz.uni-halle.de (Smack/Infect)
Type: gfx/show
NEWS
----
v0.93 (Wed 28-May-97)
-added option "-fps"
(playback speed (nearly) independend of video frame rate)
-more "-verbose" information
(video frame rate, anim nominal FPS)
v0.92 (Mon 26-May-97)
-"gfxlib-display" improved:
-option "-wait" works
-no more trash between two anims in batch mode
-fixed options parsing behind "-batch" option
The program YP is a player for YAFA animation files.
It has some features that let your AMIGA become a real multimedia machine:
-play directly from disk
or
preload the complete animation for maximum playback speed
-can use all AGA screenmodes
-has a special batch file mode (for LARGE anim shows)
-can play frame-synchronous sound effects (ProTracker modules, IFF samples)
Requirements:
Hardware
-MC68020 or higher
-AGA chipset
-recommended: FastRAM, HardDisk
Software
-AmigaOS V39 (3.0) or higher
-xpkmaster.library and compressors (LIBS:compressors/xpk????.library)
if XPK compressed YAFA animations are to be played
Note to graphics card users
This program will (most probably) not work with graphics cards.
It accesses the AGA chipset on hardware level and uses low level system
routines in order to be most efficient. The main goal was to make the
player as fast as possible.
Software developers!
The YAFA anim file format can be the replacement of IFF-ANIM. Please consider
implementing YAFA loaders/savers in your animation software in order to make
YAFA more popular and easier to handle. Player programs for graphics cards
are needed too.
There is a documentation on the YAFA file format available on Aminet:
docs/misc/YAFA-doc.lha
