It was a challenge to try to play 30fps full motion video on an original PC. &#8220;Original PC&#8221; is defined as 4.77 MHz 8088 CPU, CGA graphics, and original 8-bit Sound Blaster.<\/p>\n<p>For further creepiness, Trixter, here is a <a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=295\">new FATE test<\/a> which will guarantee that FFmpeg reliably decodes TMV files on dozens of different CPU\/OS\/compiler configurations.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of <a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/\">FATE<\/a>, I have neglected to mention that MichaelK has kindly contributed continuous testing resources for NetBSD and OpenSolaris, both on x86_32. Further, <a href=\"http:\/\/hardwarebug.org\/\">M\u00e5ns<\/a> continues to work his little ARM-based Beagle Board to the bone and has added more compiler configurations. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some more new FATE tests (thanks to Vitor for adding specific tests to the <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.multimedia.cx\/index.php?title=FATE_Test_Coverage\">FATE Test Coverage<\/a> page):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=296\">corepng<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=302\">d-cinema-demux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=300\">lmlm4-demux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=301\">mtv<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=299\">mxf-demux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=297\">ptx<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/index.php?test_spec=298\">pva-demux<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One more thing&#8211; can anyone make FFplay compile under Mac OS X? I thought I succeeded once but now I can&#8217;t seem to do it. I would like to take screenshots as seen above using FFplay. But I can&#8217;t get the program to work correctly anywhere. Maybe it needs to be formally deprecated&#8230; or I need to think of a way to continuously test it via FATE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TMV in FFmpeg; a few new FATE tests<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[177],"class_list":["post-1444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fate-server","tag-tmv"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TMV in FFmpeg;
