MasterMotorola Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Ze_ro asked if VCD and CD-i were related. I found this bit of information: CD-i is an older format ("Green Book") than Video CD ("White Book"). It supports interactive computer games as well as movies. You can play VCDs on a CD-i player, provided that it has the DV cartridge. But there's about 30 movies released by Philips on CD-i which you can only play on a CD-i player, because they use the "Green Book" standard: you can't play them on a VCD player or on a PC. These CDs are labelled "Digital Video" or "DV". More information at http://www.icdia.org/faq/ - Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symmetry of TNG Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 well...anyhoooow... I think the MPEG thing is verry interesting.. I for one would realy like to play mpeg videos on my jaguar... Perhapps not as much for viewing movies as to include them in my productions.. (ie rather mpeg1 than cinepak). So.. even though the HW is a truly interesting thing, i dont think i would sell more than one game then, Glenn if i were to support it.. ..but.. I know i am the only one "stupid" enough to think/whant this but a mpeg1 player based on a GPU&DSP solution? ... I know it is farfetched and probably a wste of time but someday i would like to try!.. So.. my qyestion is: anyone got a MPEG1 source (video or video+audio) that MUST be based on max 16bit integer math... that would be a good start =) anyhow keep the motion dreams alive! /Sym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXG/MNX Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 look on the internet there are some free sources for MPEG-1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysmith2000 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hello, It's definitely NOT the MPEG card. I have an identical setup. It's just the butch daughter board. I was and still am then confused about what this board does. Perhaps I am just confused by the thread title, but reading the thread seems to mix Butch add-on with the MPEG issue. If you could clarify, I'd be grateful, but I do understand that the board is not an MPEG board, but is it related or not? Cheers, JustClaws. The hardware shown in the pics (with incorrect captions ) is a proto JagCD of a slightly earlier revision to mine. When they were still developing Butch they made up some boards which plugged into the system somehow (Not sure how. I think it was an extra card-edge connection at the back of the JagCD PCB) so they could prototype it more easily. In fact you can just make out the text on the PCB which says 'BUTCH ASIC DAUGHTER CARD' The Alpine just looks like a standard one - it's got a cart case and the upper-right corner of the board isn't populated, like the majority of them out there. As to whether the board is related or not: you need one for that model of JagCD to work, but beyond that it doesn't do any MPEG decoding at all Just a slightly confused article. Stone Hey Stone! What "letter" is handwritten on the sticker of your butch board? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hey Stone! What "letter" is handwritten on the sticker of your butch board? Jason Butch was finished by the time they made my board - it's almost a production-level PCB. The version number (written on the board) is 3.4, if memory serves.

Alex Czarnowski Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hello, Thanks to Curt Vendel, see here for some more amazing details! http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogames/cons...nu/jagfiles.htm Cheers, JustClaws. It's great news - however those files are more helpful to hardware-aware people; no driver code there. Still - Curd is doing amazing job. Thank you Curt!
