Short: The fastest Xing mpeg player! Cgfx/AGA/ECS

XingPlay v1.1 by Triumph
------------------------
What is XingPlay?
-----------------
XingPlay is the fastest XING-style Mpeg player available for the
Amiga. In order to be fast, it cuts a lot of corners. For instance,
there is no error checking on the file, it has better be correct!
Also, the files must be in so called Xing-Mpeg format, ie. only
I-frames and a resolution of 160x120.
The previous version of XingPlay was released as "unsupported"
software. Now that I have got some more time on my hands, I've
decided to fix the worst bugs and maybe add a feature or two. Stay
tuned for further improvements...
What's hot...
-------------
* the fastest Xing-Mpeg player available for the Amiga!
* supports Cybergraphics with custom made render routines
for all 16 and 32 bit modes.
* very fast 2x2 AGA HAM8 mode.
* extremely fast GREY modes.
* Works on ECS based machines in 16 color grey mode.
* double buffering in all modes.
* loads entire Mpeg at once - no jerking.
* animation can be looped.
Requirements
------------
- An amiga :-)
- A 68020 processor or better
- OS 3.0+ is nice, but it has been reported to work on 2.0 systems
