* Try setting your MPEG player to run at 8 to 10 frames/second for the most pleasing effect. |
|
* MPEG Players and Browser Plug-ins ... You don't have an MPEG player or plug-in for your browser? Your existing player does not work correctly with these movies? Your player won't let you adjust the playback speed? You should consider downloading a new one! The standard player provided with Windows is not quite good enough, and the famous "xanim" player for UNIX, as great as it is, does not yet play type B or P MPEG frames. - UNIX/Linux: go to MpegTV for some excellent shareware. I have no connection whatsoever with this supplier, but their "mtv" player is by far the best I've seen. It costs only 10 USDollars and has lots of useful options including control of playback speed and a nifty zoom function. The "mpeg_play" player is available free from the University of Minnesota, and works quite well. - Windows: go to MPEG.ORG and check out the extensive list of available players. I have tested "vmpeg-1.7" with no problems using 24-bit color. It provides control of playback speed. ("vmpeg" is freeware, and is also available courtesy of ITSC) I have found that most MPEG players (including Windows Media Player) do not let you adjust MPEG playback speed. |
