The reason AFAIK why not so many programs will read the files generated by SRec is because the files are only raw xvid streams without any file header of any kind. Usually video files have a wrapper format such as f.e. avi or wmv.

If all goes well the next version should be able to write an AVI wrapper around the stream and hopefully the remaining player problems will disappear.

Explains why I can't get anything to play the files. What program Amiga or otherwise can play them or convert them to something playable?

MPlayer plays them OK, and FFmpeg will convert them. You cane even use FFmpegGUI to both convert and player, as it uses both MPlayer and FFmpeg.

Can't get MPlayer to play them directly as it crashes but when played via FFMPegGUI using MPlayer it works :)

Thx

Sounds, like it may be a stack issue?

I've added a Motion JPEG video encoder that can be used now instead of the default XviD one. It's specially optimised for 15/16-bit modes and is slightly faster than the XviD codec when using a highcolour display.

I haven't tried a truecolour display yet so I don't know how well/badly it does in that case. Probably not so well.

I just wish Acube would hurry up with the backplate for Sam, so I could test the audio element easily.
