It works ... all what you noticed is (for now) perfectly intentional and correct (did you expect hours of high quality movie in such file size ? :lol3: ) :-)

As we found out in other forum, CC386 is NOT the fastest ... so this must be coded in FASM ... and is compiled via format binary as "LE" ... thanks Tomasz :-)

YES ! Exactly ... thanks :-) unsurprisingly it becomes slow on low-end hardware ...

The times are in ms for one frame ... so your 486/SX/25 wastes 167 ms total with just one frame ... enjoy 5 fps at best :-|

On your P4 2 GHz ... unsurprisingly ;-)

YES, it would be nice to have the H2O flowing, the birds flying and the bear a bit less lazy ... but for movie playing VGA 320x200x8bpp would be much better than this VGA 640x480x4bpp ... this is intended for DOS GUI (and HX maybe) ;-) Also, I would need a port of Theora or at least HuffYUV to FASM or get it compiling with CC386 at least (slow) ... so no player release tomorrow :-(
