SRec ZMBV codec w. altivec support

Download link:
http://www.a500.org/downloads/other/srec-beta_lha.readme

I'd like some people who have G4 amiga systems running AOS 4.1 to test the above file to see if it works and also see if it's any faster than the previous version.

These are the settings to use when testing:
container: AVI
video codec: ZMBV
fps: 10
audio codec: none

Width and height should be set to something that the cpu can handle without the cpu usage constantly being at 100% otherwise it will be hard to tell if there is a change in speed or not.

The WB screen should be set to a RGB15 or RGB16 screenmode as I haven't yet added any optimisation for ARGB32 mode.

I can't get Srec to do anything. It meets all requirements. Followed the 'readme instructions', but doesn't activate. I wanted do a avi record of my poker game:

Can you tell me what part of my brain is dead!

@Snuffy

I find that I have to Click on the Icon Twice, and make sure that under Pointer ( Middle Tab)you un-check the draw Pointer box.
other than that I'm afraid I can't help

Hi @ AJS
...make sure that under Pointer ( Middle Tab)you un-check the draw Pointer box.
Ahh, that did something! What's 'pointer refering to?
Anyway, I got 12MB of nothing from recording a poker game in SDLBasic. (Used 16bit screen and composting mode) Maybe there a video problem with SDLBasic. Y/N?
As far as I know SDLBasic never runs in any 'composting mode'. Thanks for the help! BTW, is there a special setup in MPlayer i might have missed?

@Snuffy
Something else to check ( Or Un-Check) under MISC tab
make sure the Follow Mouse mode is un-checked just in case you slung the Mouse pointer to one side, because thats what its recording

oh and don't foget to change the Codec to Xvid and add a .AVI to your ouput file eg TEST.Avi ( unless your testing the new ZMBV codec)

I normally use DVplayer to View them, maybe I'll try with mplayer ( I use Mplayer GUI its easy) Ok just done a quick test with Mplayer using the GUI and it played no problem.
another quick test with Mplayer, it also plays the file with out the .AVI extension.

I think Pointer is referring to the Mouse Pointer!!

I'm running with a 1280x1024 ARGB32 Screen with Compositing turned off ( On a MicroA1 wh 256mbmb)

Just have a play around with it, hopefully it will work for you
















edit spilling mistook and added a bit more

Hi @AJS

I was playing and recording at the same time and won the round. Kept the sample to 1.5MB !
