- OS/2 Multimedia Toolkit
- =======================
- OS/2 Multimedia toolkit is set of units to manage various parts of multimedia
- subsystem of OS/2. Not a part of standard OS/2 Multimedia:
- a) WarpOverlay! library interface (hwvideo.pas)
- MMPM/2 Documentation
- --------------------
- OS/2 Multimedia Subsystem Programming Guide
- Provides guidelines for developing multimedia subsystems. Each subsystem
- component is described in detail in individual chapters. Models are used
- to complement the information provided by component sample program templates.
- OS/2 Multimedia Application Programming Guide
- Provides advisory information on application interfaces to help you select
- and implement functions for your OS/2 multimedia applications. Code examples
- from fully documented sample programs accompany the descriptions of the
- functions.
- OS/2 Multimedia Programming Reference
- Provides detailed information on multimedia functions, messages, and data
- structures to enable you to write code for your multimedia application
- programs and subsystems.
- The MMPM/2 Device Driver Reference for OS/2
- It is for subsystem developers who want to write their own physical
- device drivers (and associated virtual device drivers) to support audio
- and video adapters in the Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 system.
- Multimedia REXX
- Describes REXX functions that enable media control interface string commands
- to be sent from an OS/2 command file to control multimedia devices. This
- online book is provided with OS/2 multimedia.
- Guide to Multimedia User Interface Design - (41G2922)
- Describes design concepts to be considered when designing a CUA multimedia
- interface that is consistent within a particular multimedia product and
- across other products.
- WarpOverlay!
- ------------
- WarpOverlay! is video acceleration driver. This is original readme.txt
- (BEWARE! Most probably, Valery don't know about this port):
- -Begin-
- Short overview:
- hwvideo.h is a main header for use WarpOverlay! video acceleration driver.
- There are no more or less suitable SDK yet, I am to lazy :(
- DEMO - small stupid example of using WarpOverlay!, currently it does not sup-
- port many features of WarpOverlay!, only basic functionality.
- it just tried to load file demo.mpg and cyclically play it.
- Used mpeg1 decoder pretty unstable and very unoptimal. This is just example.
- Many of MPEG files can crush decoder. I am not very fimilar with different
- MPEG aspects and do not want to mess with it, sorry.
- I just included one small MPEG1 file, which work well.
- RGB - example of using RGB (FOURCC_R565) overlay. Attention! RGB overlay
- not supported for NVidia chips and for Matrox G200.
- Known worked RGB overlay: Rage128, Radeon, i740, Savages.
- Please contact me, if you have questions/troubles with this example or with
- WarpOverlay! usage.
- Valery Gaynullin
- MPEG decoding engine based on the Berkeley MPEG (mpegplay).
- -End-
- Longterm plans
- --------------
- a) Fix lot of bugs ;)
- b) Add support for IBM Multimedia Classes and CWMM Classes for WPS (as fast as
- SOM and WPS toolkits will be presented)
- c) SEAL library interface (seal.pas) www.netlabs.org/hobbes.nmsu.edu
- SEAL is module player library. At the present time SEAL not developing
- anymore (for all platforms), but still very useful for mudule music fans.
- d) DualMode Library (dual.pas) www.netlabs.org
- DualMode library allows to use common access method as for fullscreen (MGL)
- as for windowed (DIVE) video modes.
- e) Examples, examples, examples (tests as well)
- CU!
