Yes please, links to CDXL encoder for use with CDTV/500/1000/2000 Cammy.

(I haven't finished coding my OCS movie player, nobody can help me with coding interleaved sound reading, will be better than anything before)

You can surf the net with 8mb 16 colour PC 386 with Netscape so just need to keep to sites suitable for that 1994 PC setup.....no streaming flash video/anim etc :)

Plllllleasse Cammy!!! I realllly want to watch a movie on my Amiga 500...please please please...Cammy help us, please!!! I am willing to pay whatever money from my pocket to make the software do it all for us, BUT I NEED YOU Cammy to help us get the necessary steps to be done manually and correctly that works so we can take these steps and convert them into automatic program that does them for us...please Cammy help us!

To be clear, my movie player is not CDXL compatible, it s uncompressed HAM/EHB frames + sound DMA'd into chipmem from 4200rpm IDE 2.5" HDD. :)

How big are those files going to be without compression? one HDD per film? ;P


It's only for (motly silent) cut scenes in my HD games based on films/TV shows etc one day, for now. (320x150x6)/8= byte size of frame. So 48000b for 4096 colour frame but you get 250% more resolution & 24/25fps image with no 'noise' over smaller CDXL files. You can tune the compression into playback after you benchmarked the chipset bus DMA throughput for OCS. I want to try lo-res interlace too actually :)

The whole point was to show Amiga 1000 was massively held back by storage technology of 1985 NOT OCS ie 1-2 decades ahead of it's time in potential. And that 7mhz A1000 movie will still look better than VGA ISA 486 25mhz 256 colour dithered animations thanks to HAM mode.

If nobody ever used it I wouldn't mind, it's for my own personal projects.

I'm sort of able to do this. I have an a500 with an 030 and scsi/compactflash. Using dctv I can "watch" videos... with a zorro-2 adapter, you could use a regular ethernet card. I think all of the cards are 10mbs, so I'm not sure what you consider high-speed. But zorro-2 does have enough bandwidth to utilize 10mbs ethernet...


Most websites are CPU intensive too, 50mhz 030 is not a lot of MIPS (40mhz 386?) and ECS/OCS not s st s even 386 VGA. Browser has a tough time surfing todays Flash infested sites.

If only someone could tell us how the hell we encode n playback ANIM+SLA type 2 (type 1 pre-loads sound into RAM, type 2 streams ANIM video AND audio together.

Here is our Amiga format streaming movie.......that nobody supported!
