| So Stpehen never managed to finish the project announced months ago... Too bad. He has developped a wonderful piece of software.
2 remarks :
1° No, DvPlayer doesn't work anymore on AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition. Overlay support is broken since FE with lots of tearing and slowness (works without any problem under Update 6). DvPlayer is at the moment useless for any OS 4.1 system (broken overlay and no compositing support so no accelerated video rendering under OS4.1 FEl).
2° Would this information had seen the light of day if I had not express complaints about the TBA status of some programs in AmiStore ? _________________ PowerMac G5 2,7Ghz - 2GB - Radeon 9650 - MorphOS 3.14 AmigaONE X1000, 2GB, Sapphire Radeon HD 7700 FPGA Replay + DB 68060 at 85Mhz

I really doubt Matthew and Trevor have the time to write extensive press reports, just because you made some petty coment about a TLA in the AmiStore.
This comes as part of a series of aquisitions and investments that are really enabling our limited developer resources to push things forward. _________________ BroadBlues On Blues BroadBlues On Amiga Walker Broad

You may find that acquisition of software takes a little while longer than the day that has passed since you started your "Amistore TBA" thread. _________________ Cross-developer on Windows, OS3, OS4, Linux; Current Projects:- Nephele Cloud App OS4 UserProfile System OS4 AmigaOneXE OS4.1.6

Since you mentioned limited developer resources - are you going to work on this one too? |

That is not what I meant. Maybe this info could have been delayed but my "petty" comment has, maybe, accelerated the process since I mentionned many times that DvPlayer would not be updated (and that is the case, it won't be updated by Stephen as was previously stated). _________________ PowerMac G5 2,7Ghz - 2GB - Radeon 9650 - MorphOS 3.14 AmigaONE X1000, 2GB, Sapphire Radeon HD 7700 FPGA Replay + DB 68060 at 85Mhz

It's as much a (pleasant) suprise to me as anyone, I'm not expecting to be asked, Matthew has a small queue of stuff lined up for me already and I've got an album to finish... I don;t know who will work on it, but it's worth noting that, speaking more generally, just because the software has been aquired it doesn't mean the original author is no longer involved, case in point being RingHIO _________________ BroadBlues On Blues BroadBlues On Amiga Walker Broad

| @K-L I just tested DVPlayer v 0.76 with several video file formats on my X1000 with 4.1 Final Edition. Seems fine as far as I can tell. I'm using a Radeon HD 6570 graphics card with the 2.14 driver. Its performing exactly as it did under 4.1 r6 _________________ - BCP AmigaOne X1000 & Amiga 4000

He's clearly talking about overlay. His profile also shows a 9250. Quite different.

| Not wanting to harp on again about this subject but this posting is not helping. DvPlayer is not available yet, to buy on Amistore as it says above.
That said, it's good news that Dvplayer continuing to be worked on. Always been a fan of the players by Stephen since the days of Riva. Hopefully a few more codecs can be added in addition to hardware acccelerated playback.
@Broadblues
Interesting comment from yourself. This queue of stuff, is it anything new or is it improvements to exisiting stuff you have done?
Cheers. _________________ If your nose runs and your feet smell, you're upside down.

As number6 says : I'm using a Radeon 9250 (as do a lot of Amigans without Radeon HD). Using it with a Radeon HD is not very useful since no vido acceleration is present : it's slow. _________________ PowerMac G5 2,7Ghz - 2GB - Radeon 9650 - MorphOS 3.14 AmigaONE X1000, 2GB, Sapphire Radeon HD 7700 FPGA Replay + DB 68060 at 85Mhz

What machine are you using? On a Sam460 using a RadeonHD7770, DvPlayer seems to be just as fast as Mplayer using Comp_YUV2 output.

Well, DvPlayer is highly optimized, this is the reason why you do not see any difference but there is also tearing with FE.
I'm using an AmigaONE X1000 with Radeon 9250 128 Bits (PCIPCI-E 66Mhz). And it's the same on my Sam440 with Radeon M9. Since FE, overlay is badly used, CPU usage much more high and there is tearing on any video I watch.
I reported this on Hyperion's forums at the launch of amigaOS 4.1 Final Edition (see http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2812&start=40#p31646 ). But so far, no answer from Hyperion since then on this specific topic. _________________ PowerMac G5 2,7Ghz - 2GB - Radeon 9650 - MorphOS 3.14 AmigaONE X1000, 2GB, Sapphire Radeon HD 7700 FPGA Replay + DB 68060 at 85Mhz

| Do previously registered users of DvPlayer have to buy it again, or they will have a special discount? _________________

I know it's highly optimised, but the point I made was that it isn't slow compared to mplayer that has an alternative to overlay.
I haven't seen tearing using DvPlayer under FE. Looking at the thread you linked to (admittedly very briefly) I'm wondering if this affecting specific hardware.
Have you got links to clips affected by tearing I could look at? _________________ If your nose runs and your feet smell, you're upside down.
