- G'day folks!
-
- I found this one on the IUMA and added quick support for Amiga SAS/C,
- binary supplied for 040 or 030/881. Don't forget to (e.g.)
-
- setenv MPEGTABLES g2:mpegaudio/tables
-
- so the programs can find several files they require.
-
-
- Encoding takes 50 times realtime on my A4000/040 for 44kHz stereo
- to a 128kBit stream; so don't expect it to fly on your A3000 ....
-
- For producing streams straight off CD, I recommend a Toshiba or Apple
- CD300 (= Sony CDU-8003/5?1) drive and SCSIutil. I supplied a patch to
- cope with the Sony's strange behaviour when reading CDDA data.
-
- Also, for manipulation purposes, you might find SOX useful ...
-
-
- Decoding is still somewhat slow with this decoder; I ported Tobias
- Bading's "maplay" (original source on IUMA, too) to Amiga and rewrote
- it to utilize integer arithmetic. It's 3 times faster than "musicout"
- actually and will do real-time decoding on the A4000 soon (although
- eating up almost all cpu power and with some restrictions to the play-
- back frequency).
- Hey Commodore, the Amiga community WAITS for the 3210 or whatever DSP.
- Release it, _NOW_. Give us a Gravis Ultrasound-like card with one or
- two DSP's and expect helluva sound !!!
-
-
- Take a look at aMiPEG as well, my somwhat speedy mpeg video player. It
- comes with full source code (like everything) and renders any stream to
- a full-size! AGA screen.
- Color interpolation and ECS support comes with the next release.
-
-
- If you want to produce video streams, I suggest the Berkeley encoder,
- a amiga port of which can be found on Aminet as well. It's a bit faster
- than the Stanford encoder, although I experienced some problems with
- the quality for synthetic pictures ...
-
-
- Feel free to mail me if you'd face any problems ...
-
- Enjoy!
