Next Gen Amiga&MorphOS need Next Gen DCTV or Graffiti

[Fab12]

AmigaDave,

Neither Efika nor Sam are able to play a 1080p h264 file (and far from it). You'd need some 1.5/2GHz G4 to do so, or a dedicated processing unit.

JJ,

I'm impatient to see a SAM playing a 1080p h264 file at full speed with some plugged fpga really...

Seriously, just stop dreaming.

At the moment, both dvplayer & mplayer for OS4 are about twice as slow as mplayer for MorphOS regarding h264 playback (they'll catch up when they are updated to current ffmpeg and have faster video output drivers). So I wouldn't even be surprised if an Efika wouldn't behave better than a SAM currently.

Hammer,

I really can't tell from this video.
But since h264 is way too demanding, I guess it's rather in the divx or mpeg2 category.
As a comparison, a pegasos2 G4 can already play (at full speed) 720p divx files and 1080 mpeg2 files (I only tried on a small sample for the latter though).
