Short: MPEG System datatype V1.6 Author: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz) Uploader: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz) Type: util/dtype Replaces: util/dtype/mpegsdt105.LhA Requires: datatypes.library >= V45.3 Requires: mpegvideo.datatype >= V1.6 Requires: mpegaudio.datatype >= V1.1 MPEG System datatype, which is able to play mpeg system stream movies (system stream = interleved video + audio streams) animation.datatype subclass. INTRODUCTION Datatypes class for MPEG System movies. REQUIREMENTS - You need at least Kick/WB 3.0. - datatypes.library >= V45.3 - "datatypes/animation.datatype", >= V40. "animation.datatype 40.6 (28.09.93)" requires itself some libraries/boopsi classes: - "realtime.library", >= V39 - for timing - "gadgets/tapedeck.gadget" (any version) - for the controls - mpegvideo.datatype >= V1.6 - mpegaudio.datatype >= V1.1 USAGE If the datatypes descriptor file was activated, any attempt to load a MPEG System stream using GMultiView, MultiView, AmigaGuide or SwitchWindow will load and play the movie. INSTALLATION After unpacking this archive: Because this version does not include an Installer script, you have to do the installation manually through the shell: - Unpack this archive and copy the "mpegsystem.datatype" to SYS:Classes/DataTypes/: Copy CLONE FROM "mpegsystem.datatype" TO "SYS:Classes/DataTypes/mpegsystem.datatype" - Then copy the datatypes descriptor into the DEVS:DataTypes directory. If the descriptor already exists, you should not replace it, otherwise you may loose "toolnodes" and other settings stored in the existing descriptor. Copy CLONE FROM "MPEG System(%|.info)" TO DEVS:Datatypes/ AUTHOR If you want to blame me, report any bugs, or wants a new version send your letter to: Roland Mainz Hohenstaufenstraße 8 52388 Nörvenich GERMANY Phone: (+49)(0)2426/901568 Fax: (+49)(0)2426/901569 EMAIL is also available (if you want to send me attachments larger than 1MB (up to 5MB, more with my permission): GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de Up to October 1998 I'm reachable using this email address, too: Reinhold.A.Mainz@KBV.DE | Please put your name and address in your mails ! | German mailers should add their phone numbers. | See BUGS section above when submitting bug reports. Sorry, but I can only look once a week for mails. If you don't hear something from me within three weeks, please send your mail again (but watch about new releases) (problems with this email port are caused by reconfigurations, hackers, network problems etc.). The entire "mpegsystem.datatype" package may be noncommercially redistributed, provided that the package is always distributed in it's complete form (including it's documentation). A small copy fee for media costs is okay but any kind of commercial distribution is strictly forbidden without my permission ! Comments and suggestions how to improve this program are generally appreciated! Thanks to David Junod, who wrote the animation.datatype and lots of the datatypes example code, Matt Dillon for his DICE, Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel for his help, ideas and some text clips from his documentations. ---- Bye, Roland ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1420 386 72.8% 01-Jun-98 17:08:28 +class_iprotos.h 17197 5602 67.4% 29-Aug-98 02:05:22 +classbase.c 703 306 56.4% 29-Aug-98 02:05:22 +classbase.c.info 5470 1660 69.6% 01-Jun-98 15:51:44 +classbase.h 701 300 57.2% 01-Jun-98 15:51:44 +classbase.h.info 1427 466 67.3% 02-May-98 00:54:12 +classbase.i 701 297 57.6% 02-May-98 00:54:12 +classbase.i.info 5813 1850 68.1% 28-Aug-98 23:20:02 +classdata.h 706 306 56.6% 28-Aug-98 23:20:04 +classdata.h.info 2811 828 70.5% 04-Nov-97 12:42:02 +classinit.asm 81452 18330 77.4% 29-Aug-98 01:04:02 +dispatch.c 705 306 56.5% 29-Aug-98 01:04:02 +dispatch.c.info 433 216 50.1% 04-Nov-97 12:42:38 +endcode.asm 13532 7913 41.5% 29-Aug-98 04:53:56 +mpegsystem.datatype 19555 6733 65.5% 29-Aug-98 04:54:44 +mpegsystem.datatype.doc 29700 14192 52.2% 29-Aug-98 04:53:54 +mpegsystem.datatype.ld 9199 1945 78.8% 29-Aug-98 04:53:54 +mpegsystem.datatype.map 213 120 43.6% 07-Jun-98 14:05:54 +mpegsystem.datatype_rev.h 255 134 47.4% 07-Jun-98 14:05:54 +mpegsystem.datatype_rev.i 2 2 0.0% 07-Jun-98 14:05:52 +mpegsystem.datatype_rev.rev 661 331 49.9% 29-Aug-98 00:53:42 +mpegsystemtest 8866 2669 69.8% 28-Aug-98 23:21:58 +prefs.c 709 311 56.1% 28-Aug-98 23:21:58 +prefs.c.info 4365 1184 72.8% 29-Aug-98 02:05:26 +smakefile 702 305 56.5% 29-Aug-98 02:05:26 +smakefile.info 2630 929 64.6% 12-Feb-98 21:24:02 +stackswap.c 708 312 55.9% 12-Feb-98 21:24:02 +stackswap.c.info 203 101 50.2% 19-Apr-98 19:44:56 +testall 700 301 57.0% 12-Feb-98 21:30:34 +testall.info 880 520 40.9% 29-Aug-98 01:39:18 +descriptor.audio 6290 1781 71.6% 29-Aug-98 01:37:56 +descriptor.c 705 309 56.1% 29-Aug-98 01:37:56 +descriptor.c.info 1173 379 67.6% 29-Aug-98 01:39:18 +descriptor.map 920 545 40.7% 29-Aug-98 01:38:26 +descriptor.system 920 545 40.7% 29-Aug-98 01:38:50 +descriptor.video 984 579 41.1% 29-Aug-98 01:41:48 +MPEG Audio 467 281 39.8% 29-Aug-98 01:41:50 +MPEG Audio.info 1030 611 40.6% 29-Aug-98 01:43:18 +MPEG System 467 281 39.8% 29-Aug-98 01:43:18 +MPEG System.info 1026 611 40.4% 29-Aug-98 01:44:44 +MPEG Video 467 281 39.8% 29-Aug-98 01:44:44 +MPEG Video.info 490 304 37.9% 29-Aug-98 00:43:40 +SCOPTIONS 1230 340 72.3% 29-Aug-98 01:39:32 +smakefile 701 302 56.9% 29-Aug-98 01:39:32 +smakefile.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 229289 76004 66.8% 30-Aug-98 16:29:28 44 files
