AVI movie player

[Howard Dawson]

Hi everyone,

I've been given some .avi files from a digital camera and tried to play them
on an old (1.55) version of !PlayAVI from a PD CD but it complains that it
only supports 8-bit sound.

Is there a later version of !PlayAVI or something else that can handle
16-bit sound.

TIA
Howard.

You could possibly try using ffmpeg
(http://www.archifishal.co.uk/ffmpeg.zip - very old now, but might still
do), and convert it from avi into MPEG format and then play it using
KinoAmp?

Wow, I didn't know that ffmpeg even exists for RISC OS machines! :-) Is it
32bitted, or does it need Aemulor?

It's just (I believe) a direct port of a command line tool, so its
existence isn't too surprising. It's even in the GCCSDK autobuilder, so
we could spin a new version pretty easily. Alex's version is of
course 32-bit.

Thanks for the info and the promising perspectives!
