This is about the best I could do on real hardware with sound using MooVid

Looks nice. So this is running @80Mhz on your system? Is this playing from disk or memory?

Thanks, I did try a few different movies and got very different results....could never get it quite 'perfect' though

Yes this was using an 80Mhz 1260 Blizzard.   Not sure if this video was streaming from memory or disk, can't remember now.

That's a nice website. convert2cdxl looks like the most convenient way of converting to CDXL. It converts it to videos with only 12 frames/s (hopefully there is a way to tweak this ;).


hmm could a CDTV disk be created that would play a movie from cd rom?

I hope it is true, as the HAM6/HAM8 player from the AVI4HV converter package was shocking last time I checked (in 2012) due to NO BUFFERING of video! Talk about hard drive head killer - this thing was worse than a 10 year old installation of Windows XP.
I did make a video of my own and so had a bit of fun with it anyway. I even play it from time to time. :)

Isn'it time to expand the CDXL format to do some more advanced stuff then? I know Amiga do this stuff, me and a friend of mine used to participate in animation competition with 12FPS videos in Anim7 but those are BIG and disk-grinding; for a more widespread use some optimization is needed IMO...

I believe CDXL is not an openly documented format but there's still some room for improvement.  What do you have in mind?

Unfortunately, the standard disk controller (PIO-0) is too slow. This HAM8 video file has over 600MB. https://youtu.be/nnJw-jaSUGs

Awesome!!! I got it working in fs-uae in A1200 mode.

Good to see that the playing of videos is now picking up (again) for classic Amigas! Let's keep the chipset melting :)

PS:  I couldn't get it working on my A4000, there appears to be something  A1200 specific hiding in it ... A3000 mode in fs-uae plays the sound,  but not the video. It does work in A1200 mode.

I found that there is a CDXL player with source on the Aminet at http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/cdxl_player for OS 3 with graphics card or MorphOS and http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/cdxlplay for OS 4 with heavier graphics card.  For AROS there's an SDL version at http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/cdxlplay-sdl .

Apparently the cat is out of the bag after all!

Hi guys, finally I got some more tools working, wrote my own sound converter and "chunk shuffler" and can now get AnimFX running with sound and proper play rate. Here is a video with 5 HAM variants (HAM6/HAM8 with one shared palette and multiple palettes) and for dreamers a hires version. I can run V1-V4 on my Amiga, V5 is (as expected) too slow on my Amiga - but it is fast enough in FS-UAE ... which made me wonder a bit ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQg7CcgQqOU

CDXL works too @ 25 FPS in lores for V1 without blit option (but  flicker) (in PIO-4 setting), and it  does appear to be fast enough - unfortunately I never got the CDXL  player working with multiple color palettes in HAM mode.

Next I may look at my CD32 or Picasso IV with MPEG (RIVA player is much better in skipping frames while still keeping the music playing properly) or I start writing my own HAM player .. :)

THIS IS WHAT THE AMIGA IS ABOUT. Hacking around and pushing the boundaries on what can be done. Nice work and keep on hacking! :)

No, because the full video wouldn't fit into memory :) But the short  one would fit, yeah worth a try. I still remember these laced modes on  my 1081 monitor .. that's why I probably avoided it also in lores ;)
