I got the first episode of ren and stimpy converted to Amiga

[AmigaClassicRule]

I have done one show of ren and stimpy converted to run on classic Amiga AGA. It should theoretically run at frame rate of 20 per second on an Amiga 1200/4000 030+ but I have not found my Amiga classic yet to try it out. Anyone is interested in trying the show for me on their Amiga classic and returning me back some feedback?

The size of the file is 795 MB in size. I need the following feedback about my work:

1) Quality of the video
2) Quality of the sound
3) Speed of the animation

there was an error at the end of the conversion of to hv at the LAST LAST LAST end, so the last 4 seconds was not completed. But hopefully for the rest of them it should not be the case...this is after all my first attempt. Personally I am proud of my work and I finally can watch one episode of ren and stimpy on my A1200 when I find her between all these boxes.

I could check for the audio on my WinUAE but I cannot because my PC's internal sound CHIP died and no sound output is coming from my PC. IN a month or so, I should order a USB sound card to resolve this problem.

If anyone is interested please send me their FTP client info so I can upload it, after all it is 700+ MB in size.

Thanks for your input Hopefully if you guys are happy I should be able to do all the ren and stimpy tv show converted for the classic Amiga, then do all duckman episode, then do all family guy and american dad. When I am done with all of these shows I will work on my movies at my HD and start working on the tv show prison break and so forth...but before I even start doing this tedious work...I need your input on this file that I have done. Anyone have an FTP client where I can upload this will be great.

Well, if you're going to go this route, I'd use usenet to upload them to. Cool idea. It would be kind of trippy watching modern shows on a classic Amiga.

Because I lowered the fps from it's original speed to make it smooth on classic Amiga the audio was still relying on the 25 fps (managed to get the audio on my PC working again). So what end up happening the audio is faster than the animation/picture. I am going to redo this again with it's original speed setting first then upload it and ask someone to test it for me on their original Amiga. If it works with good speed then I will repeat the same configuration for the rest of them.

I did it! I got the speed of animation working with the audio and running on an A1200 14 Mhz at speed of 25 fps. But again this is in WinUAE it may be inaccurate all together. I am going to post a demo here to be downloaded and I need someone out there to test it for me please.  Just tell me if this split second of viewing on their real A1200 comes out with good speed and good audio. Your support in testing and helping me figure out the best configuration makes it possible and easier for me to get movies into classic Amiga.

Hehehe, I may even consider getting Jerry Springer there lol.

The link to download the demo is locate here: http://www.mediafire.com/?op9z1euit58v59f

Would like to give this a try on mu 030 miggy but don't know how to play the file.  Can't find hamp.run anywhere!  Any suggestions would be grea!

There you have it. Please tell me what you think?

If it works great as I hoped I will send you the full version of ren and stimpy episode ones it is done...it is already reached 237 MB in conversion..ones it reaches 870 or a little bit more MB it should be possible to send you the new URL link to download it. I was doing my calculation as I was walking to the mall and I calculated that a 2 hour movie in hv would be 10 GB. Well, that is not so bad. It is like blue ray disc. So if you have USB and an external blue ray disc you can put 5 of 2 hours movies in one disc and enjoy movies on classic Amiga. I think it is working as I am hoping but before I am positive please Havie try this demo out for me and tell me what is the result with your real Amiga. If it plays at 25 fps on 30 Amiga then ALL AMIGA USERS can enjoy this experience..no need for 060 anymore!! Let us pray for the best.

I tried the DemoREN file and it plays fine in my A1200 030 50Mhz, I also noticed that it has stereo. I have few PSB music videos that I converted, but I made my sound mono, to shrink the file size a bit.

Wwwwoooooooooohooooooooooooo!!!! THAT IS THE GREATEST NEWS I HAVE EVER HEARD!!! Thank you soo much!!!!

I am going to start CONVERTING MOVIES AND MOVIES AND MOVIES and TV SHOWS AND TV SHOWS AND TV shows...FINALLY AMIGA CLASSIC USERS get to enjoy movies hehehhe!!

I am going to be turning my A1200 into the FATTEST media center possible. Not only would i listen to mp3, but watch movies, play games, chat online on my A1200 desktop...yaappiiee!!

For cartoons, you could probably lower the FPS and you wouldn't notice the difference. Also, I wonder if is possible to do any pre-processing to reduce the colors in the original video file to reduce the dithering.
When converting my files, I noticed that if less mpg artifacts are present in the original file the better the conversion will look like.
It would be nice if someone made a script to automate the conversion process.

I've got classicWB 3.1, do I need any particular software installed to give this a try?

It is 5:24 PM and I have made 600 MB so 200 MB to go and the complete ren and stimpy is done. Does anybody have an ftp server or something where I can put all my work on it? I am afraid to use my own personal computer in fears of someone hacking my system and I do not want to pay monthly for a storage area. If someone could help in just providing a space where I can upload the movies and shows and people then can download them at their leisure to watch movies in classic Amiga. If you guys want to donate for my work it is appreciate it but you do not have too...I am doing this for free completely 100% and I want to share the joy of watching videos on classic Amiga with others.

Enjoy! By the end of today hopefully I will have completed the first episode of ren and stimpy and I will ounces it here.

[AmigaClassicRule]

It is finished!! I finished my first ren and stimpy conversion to Amiga format. If anyone is interested please tell me so I can send it to you

I am working on the second one now Ones I finish all the ren and stimpy series I will move to family guys, followed duckman, followed american dad

[AmigaClassicRule]

I have issue with getting the fps of the animation to sync with audio. The first tv show worked great but any other tv show where the fps must have decimal on it to match the audio sync it does not work correctly ones I use the program avi4hv conversion. It somehow does rounding and the result case the audio is either behind the animation or the animation is a little faster than the audio so when the conversion goes incomplete, breaks half way and I have animation and audio not synched at all.

Is there a program or something I can do to make sure the file.avi and the file.wav are synch ones I use the avi4hv program? Also there is a lot of dithering going own and it is very annoying how do I reduce it?

Thanks in advance.

Remember, be careful when you drop the framerate of stuff recorded from VHS (if that's your source): VHS displays in fields per second but most animation is done at 8-10 frames per second.  Dropping the display framerate can lead to jerkier animation than you'd think...
