What about the most impressive Anim that works well on AGA?

That depends. There are different sorts. For instance, do you mean realtime generated, streaming video etc?

To put it easy, an A4000 in a big tower ...

You can probably watch DivX movies with a good DMA SCSI CD and a fast PPC on AGA (low-res)...with a suitable player ;-)

Yeah, I know, but I've never seen any full screen video on an AGA machine. It's must be possible, the Anim format has very low compression, and a well encoded Anim in HAM8 (without HAM8 arifacts) would be able to do reall time fullscreen fullmotion, full color video..... or maybe not :-?

There was that PowerMovie software. I don't know what became of it, but I seem to recall it managed fullscreen playback OK.

There's a program on Aminet that converts MPegs to anims but I haven't tried it my A1200 is currently disassembled...
I think it supports Mpeg2 as well.
