A test video :)

Link to CPUMON
EXTERNAL LINK -- For best video playback, please sure to install the latest SAGA driver. A500 users please note that SAGA-IDE will boot up in legacy slow mode. You can turn to fast-mode using the included Vampiretool.
Not all devices might support Fast-IDE.
Depending on your CF with Fast-mode you can expect about 12 MB/sec.

| Please note that RiVA 0.52 is best viewed in FULLSCREEN.
When launching in CLI mode, No specific option is required. Optimal screenmode is selected by default. However you can force this mode by selecting DISPLAY=HICOLOR.If you use RiVA GUI, use the option Dither: HICOLOR.
You can use DISPLAY=WINDOW, then best is to set the Workbench in 16-bits mode for better performance. RiVA apply a specific dithering for this mode that improve a lot the quality. You can eventually use in addition the BORDERLESS option. If you use RiVA GUI, use the option Dither: PIP. Also preferably don't use 24-bits Workbench mode because RiVA do not implement this conversion routine, so that he will try to open a screen not optimized for best performance. It is eventually possible to saves some frames by reducing Audio quality with AUDIOFREQDIV=2. If you use RiVA GUI, use the option Audio Frequency: 2 (22050Hz).

| You can start playing with RiVA by making your own MPEG1 videos.
You will need to download ffmpeg and/or mencoder. Both exists for Windows and Linux. You will then be able convert MKV and MP4 quite easily.
EXTERNAL LINK
For example, use this command lines as a start, then try some different options.
FFMPEG
ffmpeg -i source\source.mp4 -vcodec mpeg1video -filter:v scale=640:360 -b:v 1500k -bf 3 -ac 2
-acodec mp2 -b:a 128k dest\dest_640x360_1500.mpg
MENCODER
mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg1:tsaf:muxrate=1500 -o dest\dest_640x360_1500.mpg -aid 1 -vf
scale=640:360 -ofps 24 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts
acodec=mp2:abitrate=128:vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=1500:keyint=15:mbd=2:aspect=16/9:vmax_b_frames=3
source\source.mp4

| Does it support the modern codecs that most source videos are in though?

| @wawa That's true. But i really advise you to do it on a GHz machine if you prefer wait some seconds instead of some minutes (hours?) :)

| AFAIK the RiVA only supports some long obsolete video formats - probably nothing currently available 'on the wild' can be directly played. For Classics probably the only option is FFMPEG (http://aminet.net/search?query=ffmpeg), but the compilations available are also few years old. Besides, Vampire probably won't be able to run them yet (lack of FPU). Not to mention that modern codecs require a lot of computing power - UAE with JIT is probably the only option for now to play current video files.

| I converted whole movies to mpeg and played them on the A600+vamp.
My quad core i7 pc is more then capable of doing that pretty fast.
And finally it's possible to play mpeg on a decent FPS, sound quality and a better resolution on a real classic Amiga then ever before.
Even my 233 Mhz 604e doesn't like to play mpeg any higer then 320x240...See Riva AMMX as a proof of concept how much AMMX can boost performance if used correctly.

Yes, RiVA is an mpeg1 Player. DVD was already mpeg2 so you can consider mpeg1 obsolete. Just as the Amiga is an obsolete computer and an 80 MHz CPU is an 80 MHz CPU.

| Hi, I have problem with Mac emulators (ShapeShifter, Fusion) on new Gold2 core. Not working. On previous "Beta" verison 3683 of Gold2 core, working good.

| About ShapeShifter, Fusion Check the bottom for the solution http://wiki.apollo-accelerators.com/doku.php?id=faq#troubleshooting You need to use vbrcontrol to move the vbr in fastram

This is mythos. I think Apollo team must announce seperately in 185 points size letters that Apollo core has FPU that everybody remembers.

| yes, afair ffmpeg demands an fpu. matthey has prepared asm inlines to take advantage of all 060 modules in parallel, both int units and the fpu. the compile may be some years old, but even then it should support more contemporary formats than any other amiga player/converter. however, even if amistuff has left, the source should be preserved somwhere there. maybe it can be updated to the current revision upstream and mattheys inlines may be replaced/ifdeffed with apollo ammx specific ones?
