  | Just to be clear, It should be:
  Ed. Note: In a previuos announcement Cloanto and A.inc. announced that where in talks concerning a special version of Amiga Forever for AmigaOS 4.0, which aims to provide chipset-level Classic Amiga compatibility integrated with the new generation Amiga operating system and hardware. As well as a port of PP 7.1 to OS4.  |

  | Since Cloanto have been (deliberatly?     vague here, I'll give my take on what it all means. The DVD version of AmigaForever6 (or whatever) will be formatted so that a 'HighMAT' enabled device/media player will be able to playback the MPEG4 video files. If there is no HightMAT support, the files have to be viewed on a computer. ISTR that 'Action' in OS4 is capeable of MPEG4 playback, so I'm guessing that they need to license the technology to enable retail release of MPEG4 encoded files.
