Short: MPEG Player for AGA/Cgfx/P96 v0.21, Fast!
Author: sfell@xtra.co.nz (Stephen Fellner)
Uploader: sfell@xtra.co.nz (Stephen Fellner)
Type: gfx/show
RiVA is by far the fastest available MPEG Player for 68k Amigas!
This version (v0.21) fixes a small bug in v0.20 which caused crashes on some
030-based systems without a GfxCard, due to the strange behaviour of certain
system libraries.
I would like to apologize to people who have encountered this problem, but
due to the high demand from people to release a new demo, I have skipped much
of the beta-testing stage, releasing a version which has not been properly
betatested.
If you encounter any problems at all with RiVA, please let me know and I will
try to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
Also I would like to thank everyone who sent me encouraging emails and other
suggestions, and I'm hoping to hear from many more happy (or unhappy? ;) users
in the future!
Some new features in v0.20:
- Full P frame support!
- FPS and NOSKIP options for better playback control
- DITHER option for easy dither selection
- New really fast HiColor mode for GfxCards without PIP!
- New intelligent frame skipping!
- New on-the-fly dither selection! Saves typing options! Just use SPACE bar
during playback to change the dithering mode!
- Better CyberGraphX support
- Removed all known bugs! This should be the most bug-free MPEG player ever!
Standard features:
- Plays Any MPEG1 Video Streams
- Picasso96 PIP support (works on PIV and CV64/3D!)
- Really fast playback speed! (200-300% faster on 060 than other players!)
- High playback quality!
- Completely bug-free playback! (Does not suffer from decoder bugs like most
other players)
- 100% system friendly! This also means rock stable! Also extremely reliable!
There have been no crashes reported EVER(!) on any 68k systems! Even on
highly patched systems RiVA performed 100% perfectly stable!
- Written in 100% Assembly language!
- and much more...
New features/improvements coming in the following months:
- B-frame support
- System stream support
- Audio support
- AsyncIO
Other things planned in the near future:
- PPC version (also in 100% assembly!!!)
- GUI (This will include slider for fast seeking!)
- MPEG-2 support (For playing DVD!!!)
Note that only major planned features are included in these lists, there are
virtually hundreds of little minor things which will also be added progres-
sively...
