AVI question

[LaserBack]

i have some avis  downloaded  an burnt from around 1997/1998  ..my 1200
can play them quite ok  ..if i download a avi from  a later time  i get a encoding error ..sound and movie ..how can i discover what encoding the avis from 1998 are ..id like to burn  a few things on cd  from more recent times  an be able to play on my 1200..

most of the avis of that time generally use intel indeo video 3

Yep a good starting point.

I've noticed that those videos are very low quality, even if you watch them in a Window on Windows (confused?)

One strange thing that I noticed with video playback on Classics, if I play the same OS 3.9 video with an 030 and then an 060 the playback speed is not much better.   Considering the increase in MIPS (from 10 to 110), you'd expect a bigger improvement?

I've also played around and converted a few of my own clips to AVI but haven't got it working very well yet.

110 mips a 060 ? what ?
10 mips is a 030/50 in sysinfo the 060/50 is only 38 mips
an overclocked 060/100mhz is only 77 mips

anyways that is some times faster than the 030 the difference in playing compressed videos 030 vs 060 is way notorious,seems you are drunk

Most of the AVI video files included on the AmigaOS3.9 CD seems to have the following details:

Video:
Codec = Cinepak (cvid)
Size =  320 x 240
FPS = 20

Audio:
Codec = PCM (Uncompressed)
Rate = 22050Hz
Channels = 1 (Mono)
Sample = 16 bit

Have in mind that although the width is 320 pixels, the height varies in order to preserve aspect ratio.

This could at least be a starting point.

videos are in cinepack because cinepack is enough fast and low quality to be played on the slow 68k cpus
but generally avi videos in the web around 1998-2000 were using intel indeo 3 or 4, much better quality/small filesize but requiring more cpu power which most Amigas could not handle

Sysinfo reports 38mips for my 40mhz '040, so an '060@50mhz is clearly more than that, let alone an overclocked '060.

no no
 you are fake you are a liar
 sysinfo on a 040/40mhz reports only 30 mips

a 060/50mhz does 38 mips in sysinfo
all of this can be verified easily in the web

[LaserBack]

And you believe those figures? Because according to that, a 40 and 60 are almost the same speed per mhz, and that's obviously nonsense. 60s do need properly optimized versions of software to really be faster, though.

Basically it doesn't matter what Sysinfo says, because Sysinfo isn't a good benchmark. Use good benchmarking software, and even then you have to be careful. Different 68000 family processors need different optimizations to really run efficiently, and a one size fits all benchmark like Sysinfo that also doesn't do real life tests (hugely important!) is basically a crappy benchmark.

People need to stop relying on Sysinfo, period.

yes the 040 and the 060 are same speed per mhz , ie idem core excepting the 060 have a faster FPU
an overclocked 040/50mhz is 38mips idem like the 060/50mhz

and yes SYSINFO is the best benchmark,that's because was always used for comparison

now if ppl like you who have a 060 like to use  benchmarks like sysspeed because they make you feel you have a faster CPU is a different history

[LaserBack]

Haha, yes Im fake, not real at all. My posts are merely figments of your imagination and/or doctored with photoshop.

Seriously though, either pull your head in and stop acting like a pork chop, or keep digging so I can enjoy the laugh.
I dont need the web to verify what my own computer tells me
For the record, I dont trust sysinfo anyway, but that wasn't the point.

you are a liar and fake everybody knows that a 040/40mhz is only 30 mips on sysinfo

[LaserBack]

and this is for the 060 fools ....real screenshots of 060/50mhz
you can see is only 38mips, some ppl here still think that a 060 performs like a core i7

It's so easy - 060 has 2 integer units and needs code that uses both to get the full speed out of it. Sysinfo runs just on one unit.

uh yeah
I forgot the 060 is a dual core

[LaserBack]

Yes, 80MHz. Thanks for your nice comment.
The 040@40MHz is a nice CPU, but it's slow next to an 060.
Everything I post here is fake though; pictures, words... I'm just a wreckless fool! :laugh1:

yes u fake too,you 060 fanatic fool
post a sysinfo screenshot instead syspeed screenshot which runs in dual core mode

[LaserBack]

You keep going on about Sysinfo. That bench mark isn't accurate

sysinfo is 100% accurate
 is not accurate only for all the blue pill 060 fools

and of course the 060 is not a dual core cpu ,I was joking you can't detect sarcasm
 2 integer units ? wtf ?: they are in your imagination lol
