PlayMPEG CD32+FMV software found
« on: July 20, 2014, 04:16:29 AM »
Hi all! Back in 1995/1996 I was in contact with Daniel Nyberg.  He had written a small program to play MPEG video files.  I asked him if he could make it work to play back MPEG video files onto the CD32 FMV module.  He made a special version for me that does that.  

I am wondering if anyone knows if Daniel is still around.  Since I no longer have a CD32 and FMV module (I just have the CD32), I really have no use for the software now.  It is copyrighted by him, but if he is still around it would be nice to put it on Aminet with his permission - and maybe anyone with a CD32+FMV Module could try it out.

When I start the program it says this:

6.OS39:Apps/PlayMPEG> plaympeg
PlayMPEG Copyright 1995 Daniel Nyberg.
Demo version for Darren Eveland only.
$VER: PlayMPEG.c 0.137 (Tuesday 02-Jan-96 04:49:47)

DARREN EVENLAND SPECIAL EDITION!!!! :)
PlayMPEG [<-options>]
Options: I = Sight, C = Clock, N = NTSC, P = PAL, D = Display
         1 = Normal rate, 2 = 1/2 speed, 3 = 1/3 speed etc...
         S = System stream (VideoCD), R = Parsed system stream
         V = Video stream, A = Audio stream
         X = AREXX mode. (Disabled in demo version.)
Default: NTSC, Normal rate, Video stream
Example: PlayMPEG flight.mpeg -sn2

Read PlayMPEG.doc for complete documentation.


I searched Aminet for PlayMPEG but it is not there.

Anyone know anything about this?  I just have the executable software and it runs on OS3.9 and obviously if you run it on a CD32+FMV from a shell it will play back an MPEG using the FMV hardware.
