A-EON Technology is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Stephen Fellner to become the sole distributor of DvPlayer (http://dvplayer.amistore.net), the premier multimedia player for AmigaOS 4.1.

DvPlayer is developed by Amiga enthusiasts for Amiga enthusiasts, delivering the ultimate multimedia experience to AmigaOS 4.1. It is compatible with all Next-Generation AmigaOS computers including the AmigaONE X1000 and future models.

As part of the distribution agreement A-EON Technology will host the website and offer new versions of DvPlayer on AMIStore (http://www.amistore.net) as and when they become available.

A-EON Technology will also handle all administration including payments, registration and software upgrades, freeing up Stephen and the rest of the development team to concentrate on what they do best.

The current version of DvPlayer runs under AmigaOS 4.1 and supports the following video formats:-

It uses fast direct-rendering algorithms for every possible HiColor and TrueColor display mode and separate rendering routines for half scale and 16:9 movies so that they are correctly displayed at the correct aspect ratio.

Although it's now freeware, will you be handling distribution of Warpview too?

Is it theoretically possible to compile and distribute MorphOS and AROS binaries or does it make heavy use of OS4 specific API's?

@nicholas

It used to at least run with OS4emu on MorphOS.

A bit offtopic, but regarding Amishop;

Does it require OS4.x or will there be a classic App version?

Looking at the Ami-Store site it does link AOS4 http://www.amistore.net/
Im assuming it will be OS4 only, but figured Id ask anyhow.

Hi,

Yes there will be a Classic AmigaOS version too, although it will require a graphics card and good spec accelerator.

What would be the advantage over Mplayer?
