The answer from Eric:
Not yet, though I am working on it. It shouldn't be too difficult, as the
animation itself isn't too demanding, though playing it snyced to gether
with the sound might be. I'm looking into player options.
Sure Eric has that file, and he's kindly sent it to me some weeks ago. I'm currently writing a player because the (lip-)sync has to be kept at all times and the audio playback frequency is not 100% synced to the frequency of the display. In fact, e.g. Paula cannot play at exactly 44.1 KHz or 22.05 KHz rate, and the PAL or NTSC are not exactly 50 Hz or 60 Hz either. Also MP3 playback is a no-no for the slow amigas, so I've written playback routines for IMA ADPCM. This morning was able to get 16 bit audio playback via AHI and video playback from my custom anim format with slightly better compression than anim5 (3.53 MB vs. 2.50 MB and further crunched down to 1.67 MB using LZ77), but the syncing is missing (and maybe also double buffering, but that might not be necessary for this nearly black & white animation).
