Have you ever wondered about the bare minimum requirements for FMV playback? I used to think maybe it was the Sega CD console (single speed CD-ROM with 150 KBytes/sec transfer rate, limited paletted block-based graphics). Check out Trixter’s 8088 Corruption for very bare-bones FMV playback on an 8088 CPU equipped with CGA video.
Hey, there’s no FFmpeg decoder for this!$#@%$ :)
/me has no 8088/cga lying around
