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/

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.
