Is part of the negotiation to automatically play the next AVF video or randomly play the next one ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhusak Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Hello there, new version of MOVPLAY for SIDE/SIDEII! New features: - sound quality best achievable on POKEY ANTIC and GTIA turned on the same time - fast 120x forward and rewind - shortcut to go to beginning - volume up/down - pause - reads whole frame to buffer, then displays int from RAM. - COVOX under addressees $D280, $D500, $D600, $D700 (binaries with apriopriate names, look into bin catalog), mono, both channels left and right. - DOS friendly, may be launched from practical any DOS (tested on 6.4 and Sparta), load address $2800, exits cleanly do DOS. - ESC key returns to the place movplay was started in (to DOS, selftest, etc) - realtime clock friendly But you must prepare CF card as before - write raw data to it. https://github.com/jhusak/side-sideII-avfplay Edited September 21, 2022 by jhusak 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three problems (PAL): 1. at the end of my video (or downloaded ones like Dragon's Lair intro) I get this message on Atari: "Read error 5100 E0E0E0E0"; perhaps it's normal. EDIT Doesn't happen on real hardware. 2. I download videos from youtube with this online tool: https://www.onlinevideoconverter.com When I try to convert them with VirtualDub, first I get the message "AVI: variable bit rate audio detected", then when I try to save as AVI I get the message "no audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format". 3. nowadays many video files are MKV and not AVI; what should I do to load them in VirtualDub? Necrobump, I thought I would start on converting StarWars Vis1ons to PAL AVF's , have installed every possible 32 and 64bit AAC/AC3 audio decoder but Virtual Dub keeps complaining like your number 2 issue. How did you resolve this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you resolve this ? After installing every codecpack, plugin filter, simply to get AAC accepted in VirtualDub, I just tried what I should have done in the first place. AVI ffmpeg keep the video codec , convert the AAC audio codec to MP3 and tadaah , now VirtualDub is finally processing the video. If anybody got AAC working in VirtualDub , feel free to enlighten me, I really would like to know 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1k Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 what about side 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 51 minutes ago, w1k said: what about side 3? It's a compact flash based side2 thing. No sd card side3 based player as yet. I believe fjc planed to look into creating a player for side3. Very different approach needed. He is very busy. So currently a player exists for side2 cart only streaming as it were from a cf card with a single video on it. It will only work on side cart and the Atari 800 Incognito upgrade. Incognito has a built in side2 cf based setup. Edited January 9 by Beeblebrox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AVG cart also has a player, and the advantage to that, is you can have multiple videos on a single card and select them via menu. Same thing for PCM/PDM audio files. You can load up a card with them, and even choose between output devices on the fly (Pokey, Covox, etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just answering the question as to whether side3 had a video player. Side3 also has and excellent pcm/pdm audio player, with audio files that load from side3's usual excellent menu loader, stream and load them in 2 seconds, with ff/rw jog and pause functionally. Love it. A video player for side3 would be a welcome addition, but is a major undertaking for fjc. Edited January 9 by Beeblebrox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I cannot wait to get back to coding, but this house move has been physically, mentally, logistically and financially eviscerating. Office is nearly ready (I've been laid up with flu for a week which followed hot on the heels of a three-week cough, but I appear to be on the mend), the splint's off my finger (which I could not bend for twelve weeks), so as soon as I get the PC set up in the office, I need to do my books and attack the massive backlog of work. Just discovered a little wet patch on the wall downstairs (the house seems to unveil a new 'feature' every week), but I'll simply add that to the to-do list for whichever competent tradesmen we eventually enlist (should any competent tradesmen actually exist). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a much more credible reason for not showing up than some that I've heard. I'm wondering if it's actually caused by leaking pipework on the other side of the wall, since there's a toilet cistern there. Don't really have time to investigate at the moment, so hopefully one of the guys coming out to look at some of the other work I need done can have a look at it.

leech Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago I finally got around to testing the AVF player (ordered a Subcart, even though I have had an AVGCart for ages), and all I have to say is 'Holy shit, how?' I remember back in the 80s being impressed by the quality of a tiny sample of Van Halen. I played that over and over back then, as it was the first time I'd heard sampled audio out of a computer. But to hear the pretty much perfect audio and to see all the colors on screen from some movie trailers, it's insane! I tested on my original 800xl, but it's NTSC and it was all sorts of messed up. Hooked up my PAL 600xl, and it's a thing of beauty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked up my PAL 600xl, and it's a thing of beauty! The movies have to be converted to the target system (NTSC or PAL). Also, the colours on NTSC are very washed out, the player relies on the way that PAL video works, by combining two lines to get the colour info. It's the same reason that APAC images look much better on PAL systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It just depends on the encoded video system, NTSC has better frame rates and on legacy displays look much better, as PAL systems are kind of flickeriffic lacking decent reds etc. The exceptions are the newer displays with great PAL blending and PAL 60. Then it's a toss up. You need the right player and correctly encoded movies for each system. The NTSC coders are far and few between to make out specific versions for many of the newer offering, as a result we are ending up with less polished or even no equivalent offerings for most things. But there is no reason people can't make a mission of taking video streams that are normally NTSC or North America native sources and encode them for playback. The order of displayed frames might be reversed to see if color persists better etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I did notice when connecting to this TV, which is a strange blend of US / Euopean (it has SCART) that the PAL 600xl looks a lot cleaner through S-video than my 800xl does (which I added the wire for, though this was before I saw that most people put in a resistor). I actually bought the PAL 600xl for the very reason that so much of the new software requires it. But this TV really seems to prefer it, as the other screen modes seem pretty awful on it... though, that could be based on the region setting. (You have to switch it to enable the SCART port.)
