Short:    Real Fast Mpeg video 1 Player with sound 68k/AGA
Author:   Massimo Benaggia
Uploader: Andrea Maniero (guruman@dei.unipd.it)
Type:     gfx/show
Requires: 020/AGA

Installation:
-------------

- copy Riva version 0.30 to PROGDIR:
- copy Splitter (part of the Frogger archive) to PROGDIR:
- copy MPegA (with the name MPegA_New) to PROGDIR:
- copy mpega.library and asyncio.library to libs: or PROGDIR:WB/Libs
- mpega version integer v1.1 is the best, for full use of MPeg Audio Layer I
  (and II, III)

Introduction:
-------------

This script is perfect with my 68060 CPU and AGA to play
MPEG VIDEO 1 anims with MPEG AUDIO Layer I,II,III.

Usage:
------

Doubleclick on RivaAudio! icon and perform any of the following (by typing
the relative key and then return):
 1 = Riva Pal : plays the mpeg anim using Riva on a pal screen
 2 = Riva P Audio HD : plays the mpeg anim on a pal screen with sound. The
                       anim is on an HD. This information is needed in 
                       order to perform audio-video sync, because
                       the speed of an HD and a CD is different.
 3 = Riva P Audio CD : plays the mpeg anim on a pal screen with sound. Use
                       this one if the video is on a CD.
 4,5,6 perform the same as the first 3, only the display is a Multiscan
       screen.
 7 = Riva Audio Only : plays only the audio part of the mpeg selected.
                       Useful to listen to an interview...
 8,9 same as 1 and 2, but the audio quality is higher (thus slower...)
 Q = Exit : quits the script.

 After one of the options 1-9 has been performed, a requester will appear.
Simply select the mpeg video file you want to be processed.

 To block the playback press:
 - ESC to stop video
 - CTRL+C to stop audio

How the script works:
---------------------

Splitter "TestAnim.mpg" audio "T:TestAnim.mpa"

==> Audio part to T:

run >nil: Riva "TestAnim.mpg" 

==> Start Video part with Riva, only grey

MPega_New >nil: -q0 -F12000 -m -n -e -b16 -p0 -v0 -L450 "T:TestAnim.mpa"

==> For sync for my system (A1200, cpu 68060, AGA)

MPega_New >nil: -q0 -F12000 -m -n -e -b16 -p1 "T:TestAnim.mpa"

==> Start Audio part
