Is there a version of AVFPLAY with the new features?

 

The only new version is that from post #309 and it corrects issues with low quality/hissling/whistling sound. There are negotiations between me and tmp to upgrade avfplay for AVGCART to be first as good as SIDE version, then better  But now works are deferred because of Very Urgent Project.

Is part of the negotiation to automatically play the next AVF video or randomly play the next one ?

There are some ideas...

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.

It works!

 

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 ?

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

Also boosted audio in Audacity and here it is Episode 3 PAL , my first attempt on creating an AVF file

Tested - works very well on my PAL 800XL.

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.

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.)

Thanks, I knew avg had a decent player.  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.

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).

I'd offer to fix that for you but I'm a few thousand miles too far west.

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.
