- CyberAVI is a fast AVI animation player for 020+ machines with AmigaOS 3.0 or
- higher and a graphic board with CyberGraphX or AGA.
-
-
- minimum hardware requirements:
- -Amiga with AmigaOS 3.0 (V39)
- -MC68020
- -graphic board with CyberGraphX (eg. CyberVision64, Picasso II, Retina, etc)
- or AGA chipset
- -2MB of FastRAM, 512K of ChipRAM
-
-
- software requirements
- -CyberGraphX 2.16 or higher (if used with a graphic board)
- -asyncio.library V37 (included)
-
-
- recommended hardware requirements:
- -Amiga with AmigaOS 3.1 (V40)
- -MC68040 at 25MHz minimum
- -graphic board with CyberGraphX
-
-
- Supported encodings until now:
-
- Radius CinePak (CVID) 8/24 bit (8 bit is gray-only)
- Microsoft Video 1 (MSVC) 8/16 bit
- Microsoft RGB (RGB) 4/8/16/24/32 bit
- Microsoft RLE8 (RLE8) 8 bit
- IBM Ultimotion (ULTI) 16 bit
- Component Video (YUV2) 24 bit
- Intel Raw (YUV9) 16/24 bit
-
-
- PCM 8 bit Mono/Stereo
- PCM 16 bit Mono/Stereo
- ADPCM 4 bit Mono

- Changes since V1.7:
- - added support for 8bit gray Cinepak (CVID) compression. Thanks to Arjo
- Rozendaal for his hint where to find such animations.
- - improved selection of screenmode id, when selection by requester failed
- because of no suitable screenmodes
- - added support for 4bit RGB compression. Thanks to Philippe Reux for his
- sample animation.
- - now there is also a german documentation
- - fixed some bugs when reading palette
- - fixed a big bug in CVID decoder that could hurt innocent memory. Damn that
- difference between ">" and ">=". This bug existed since the time CyberAVI
- supported CVID :(
- - playback on public screens is not aborted anymore when a mousebutton is
- pressed
- - AGA routines now use an additional TmpRas of 4K. Again approx. DOUBLE
- playback speed is archived for most animations (on my MC68060)!
- - added option HAM8 to force playback of truecolor animations on a HAM8
- screen with AGA
- - some speed optimizations for all decoders. Sometimes upto 15fps more (with
- 68060, compared to V1.7) can be archived!
- - Truecolor animations are now rendered much better in grayscale mode with
- AGA. Now all 256 grayscale colors are used instead of just a few.
- - fixed a really bad bug with ADPCM samples, that was introduced with V1.7
- - fixed a bug that could lead to lockups in some situations when sound
- playback was switched on.
- - fixed problems with skipping. Sometimes not enough frames were skipped =>
- garbage in display
- - skipping is now also possible for AVIs where every frame is a keyframe (eg:
- RGB, YUV9)
- - 15bit screen modes are now also possible for selection. How could I forget
- this before?
- - senseless values for video buffer sizes are now ignored (Sven Ottemann
- reported this "out of memory" bug)
- - option SOUND has been renamed to NOSOUND. Sound playback is now switched on
- by default.
- - added option NOVIDEO to switch off video playback
- - fixed very bad bug with 8bit PCM stereo samples that trashed memory
- - CyberAVI crashed when audio.device was unavailable, now fixed.
