    FFMPEG 1.1.3 HAS BEEN PORTED TO
    AMIGAOS4
    *************************************

    Released for Amiga Os the software contains improvements and support for a lot of new decoders, encoders, muxers and filters. ffmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter that can also grab from a live audio/video source. It can also convert between arbitrary sample rates and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter.

    The command line interface is designed to be intuitive, in the sense that ffmpeg tries to figure out all parameters that can possibly be derived automatically. You usually only have to specify the target bitrate you want.

    AMONGST THE FEATURES ARE;

    * ability to burn-in subtitles through the use of the new subtitles filter
    (via libass),
    * support for converting and playing MOD/MED modules (via libmodplug).
    * audio resampling from any format to any other
    * scene detection
    * volume detection
    * super2xsai scaling
    * logo removal
    * deshake
    * temporal deinterlacing
    * smart blur
    * and many more.

    downloadable from OS4Depot.

    ASTEROIDS EMULATOR TO WORK WITH
    THE SUPERCPU
    *************************************

    Hi Nigel,

    Norbert has adapted his Asteroids emulator to work with the SuperCPU - it
    means that the screen does not slow down when there are a lot of splinters and smaller boulders on the screen, so it's probably as close to perfect as the Commodore 64 can get to the original arcade game, or at least it is by Norbert's method of 'emulating' the arcade game inside the host hardware.

    Have a look here:
    supercpu.cbm8bit.com/games.htm#adapt

    Regards,

    Shaun.
