Thread: My 1st movie in Amiga Ham
Tiago 21:46 24th April 2011
Hi,
i read about Amiga Ham videos, and i wanted to try it.
So i grab a video from my vacations in Madeira Island and i convert it to Amiga Ham Video,
the result was good.
I am able to play it in my real Amiga 1200 with 2+8 Mb ram. the quality is not bad, i was very impressive with the results.
I am using the AVI4HV to convert from AVI, and then the Hamp.run to run it in real Amiga
the player is fine for CLI/Shell, but it does not have a way to stop the video...
any one has other software for it?

Check it out, my real A1200 playing the movie.
It was filmed in Madeira Island it is a travel down hill on basket cars.

Nice work! Quality looks good to be in HAM-mode.

it is, the recording from mobile dont show the imperfections.
there are some color problems, looks like some lines in vertical have the wrong color. But overal is very good.

what was a suprise is that it dont take time to load the movie, after the command line, it dont take any time to load. You hit enter and it's on screen.
It try with a 15 minute movie, and it all worked fine. I think if you put a full movie it will work as well.

That is surprising. I'm sure non-Amiga users will be impressed if you show it to them. Have you searched Aminet for different utilities to try out?

Very nice. I've never ried doing HAM video and in fact never realised you could. Do you know what the framerate is running at? Looks pretty smooth from your video.

The colour issues you mentioned are to be expected as HAM does use a special method of displaying colours based on the colours next to them, so has a few limitations.

BTW, wanted to ask what model of monitor you are using? Or is it one of the Samsung TV Monitors? What input are you using for it? composite, scart or a flicker fixer?
