I’m pretty sure that Trixter<\/a> is equally honored and disturbed that Daniel Verkamp has contributed a TMV<\/a> playback system to FFmpeg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To review, TMV started out as a joke, or perhaps a dare. It was a challenge to try to play 30fps full motion video on an original PC. “Original PC” is defined as 4.77 MHz 8088 CPU, CGA graphics, and original 8-bit Sound Blaster.<\/p>\n

For further creepiness, Trixter, here is a new FATE test<\/a> which will guarantee that FFmpeg reliably decodes TMV files on dozens of different CPU\/OS\/compiler configurations.<\/p>\n

Speaking of FATE<\/a>, I have neglected to mention that MichaelK has kindly contributed continuous testing resources for NetBSD and OpenSolaris, both on x86_32. Further, M\u00e5ns<\/a> continues to work his little ARM-based Beagle Board to the bone and has added more compiler configurations. <\/p>\n

Here are some more new FATE tests (thanks to Vitor for adding specific tests to the FATE Test Coverage<\/a> page):<\/p>\n
