Greetings,
I realized there were very little support for wide range of video formats
capable of playing on Classic Amigas. If not seldomly supported. Take
for example my Mobile movie I happen to transfer from it to PC to
Amiga. Its in 3gp format. I have not tested any software yet, and I
plan to run CyberAVI,QT, Frogger and Riva. I do have doubts that it
may never work, though. :-(
Here are all the standard formats I think the Amiga is/is not capable of playback:
(This is only what I've encountered so you may post any additional info
if you may, thanks :-) )
MPEG-1 On aga machines, not very nice. No colors.
MPEG-2 possible but requires faaast CPU&Graphics Card
MPEG-3(audio) CPU intesive but managable
WMV I doubt it's not possible. :-(
QuickTime Yes it can play some vidoes, although some codecs are not supported
AVI Same with quicktime
RealVideo Have not tested it on classics, but possibly not supported
3pg Have not tested yet tested but I'm not optimistic about it
SWF Movies I'm looking forward to OS4/MOS1.4 PPC as to they're very memory intensive
Well, so far these are the standard formats I've tested on my classic
A1200/030.
All I intend to do is a little video production on a meager system and
see if it's possible. As much as possible I should be able to edit,
delete or insert scenes, if possible, then burn it to VCD.
Some more tips would be helpful.
Thanks to all
