Hi Mark,

I have changed the Type-1 code a little. Please try it. Before the fix the
Type-1 AVIs would play on my Windows-NT box, but not on a Windows-98 box. I
did
not try both systems. With this fix I can play all two types on both
systems.

xdvgrab is in fact too slow, but this is actually a libdv issue. Sooner or
later the libdv developers will provide a faster version, but I am quite
happy
that we have some working code. And yes, it requires a MMX CPU.

I could not get RealPlayer working at all with my AVIs. They don't even play
with a black screen.

There is probably a timing issue left in the Type-2 code. I noticed with my
PAL
AVIs that the speed is basically correct but the video stops at about 80%
with
the slider still moving on. But that's probably trivial.

Xdvplay is just a very simple front end to the libdv software. Maybe I add
Type-2 support but that's it. I already have made a patched version of
xanim,
this is probably the way to go. One program supporting all kinds of video
formats. The patch is still too unstable to release it (actually it displays
just one frame before core dumping).

Thanks for your time that you are putting in

Arne
