  • Supports TrueColor/HighColor on graphic boards with CyberGraphX or new:( probably also on graphic boards with the new "Picasso 96" software! )
  • Supports upto 256 colors on AGA Amigas
  • Supports more than 20 picture formats (incl. PhotoCD, IFF, PCX, BMP,| JPeg (incl. Progressive-JPeg), TIF, Targa, PPM, YUV, ... and DataTypes)
  • Fast scrolling and zooming functions and downscaled loading
  • Conversion functions, direct transfers, transition effects and more ...
  • additional functions ONLY FOR PHOTOALBUM/CYBERSHOW-PACKAGE USERS:
  • script controlled slideshow presentations with for each picture individually
  • selectable presentation times and transition effects
  • ARexx-controlled transfer functions for ADPro, PPaint, Photogenics 2, .

System requirements:

  • CyberShow and PhotoAlbum should be usable on all Amigas and Dracos with OS3.0 or higher.
  • sufficient memory (about 4MByte Fast-RAM should be enough for normal usage)
  • For displaying in TrueColor/HighColor quality you also need cybergraphics.library V40 or higher and a suitable graphic board (Cybergraphics is a Workbench emulation/True color software extension which is usable in conjunction with several graphic boards as the Cybervision, Piccolo, SD64, Picasso, Retina-BLTZ3, Spectrum, Domino.

action gif aMiPEG
Vers: 0.7
Auth: thorgal@dedal.man.szczecin.pl

aMiPEG 0.7 is a player for MPEG video streams for the Commodore Amiga. It is based upon the Berkeley X-Windows player version 2.0, with major changes in speed and size.
Main advantages are much faster decoding of the streams compared with other products based on the Berkeley sources, and a real-time scaling to fit on a complete HAM screen (no thumbnail animations anymore!). If you are using CyberGraphX software from Vision Factory Development you can also play MPEG streams in resizeable, true color window on an Intuition screen
