Short: MaVi-System Trial 3 Author: Hans Raaf (h.raaf@pro-dev.com) Uploader: Hans Raaf (support pro-dev com) Type: gfx/show Version: 2.1 Requires: MUI, Graphics Board Architecture: m68k-amigaos ABOUT THE RELEASE: This release is "MaVi Trial 3" and includes the "Picasso96 fix" as mentioned in TechReport 12-02-97-001 (formerly available as a single fix archive) and some new fixes for additional compability. The MaVi-System internal Version is still 2.x. All the Tools are updated to reflect customers needs and contain various enhanced possibilities. There is a new Tool "MVInfo" which should help our support to locate installation problems. This release makes usage of our new FFS-Filesystem enhancement which speeds up random and linear access to large files on FFS partitions. Everybody who has experienced how long it takes to seek randomly or just backwards in large files (e.g. 20 MB or more) should check our www-site in the next weeks for a benchmarking demo of this new routines. This system was invented to speed up our upcoming Video/Audio-Stream editors and is available as library and (maybe?) as system-patch. First benchmarks show that it speeds up random and linear file access on standard FFS-Partitions by more than 100 times (seek) and even simple read/write operations without using a bunch of system memory for caching! WARNING: We have told about a "mavikey.library" from the "Cracker Szene". This key is dangerous to your system (with all current and future MaVi releases)! You should be prepared to get a very instable system if using a key which was not registered to your own system! If you have a valid key and experience system-crashes you should check your installation with "MVInfo". ATTENTION: Because the Trial-1 version has a date-check included it will not properly work after the 1 February 1998. This was part of our beta-testing procedure and forgotten to be removed in the public release. As result MaVi-System can't recognize the format of any media file anymore. As mentioned before: The Trial 2/3 versions finally have no expiration date! All registered users of Version 1.0 need to get a new keyfile! Please email or call our Support to obtain the new key! DESCRIPTION: MaVi (Multimedia Audio Video Interface) is a system enhancement which handles many different formats (like Quicktime, AVI, FLIC, GIF-Animations, WAV, AIFF, IFF-Audio, VOC and much more) in the same way. It gives access to simple replay (Movieplayer) and is internally build to help developers to support all of this formats (and more in the future). This will include generation and embedding in and with other products. MaVi-Trial 3 is the trial version which acts as replayer and simple mixer for the currently supported formats. This demo is limited to 10 secs continuous playtime for unregistered users. There are more decoders in the full-registered version of MaVi. This is also an update for registered MaVi-Users!
