Test performed by Almos Rajnai

Machine: A1200, BPPC603-166+40LC-25, AGA, PAL, 2+32 Mb memory,
Software env.: AmigaOS 3.0, FBlit installed

Test anim:
video: MOV, Radius Cinepak, 320x240 pixel, truecolor, streamrate: 15 FPS, 396 frame, 26 secs
audio: interleaved, 22050 Hz, 16 bit, mono, uncompressed PCM
Played from ram drive, audio not tested for now.

Parameters were:
SoftCinema
verbose noaudio nogui autoexit autoplay fullscreen fullrate gray|ham8
Tested under PowerUP - it is a little bit faster under PUP.

MooVId 1.2
verbose nosound nogui noskip fps 1000 dither gray|storm
Tested under WarpUP.

Due to no possibility at all finding out the FPS rate of SoftCinema, I used an ellapsed time measuring tool (thx. to C0BRA), on both programs. In fact the initialization time is calculated into the frame rate, but it was quite small (1-1.5 secs), so the error left on 0.5-1 fps level.

Results:

MooVId gray: 13.7 secs - 28.9 FPS
MooVId HAM8: 24.3 secs - 16.2 FPS
SoftCinema gray: 22.3 secs - 17.8 FPS
SoftCinema HAM8: 67.5 secs - 5.9 FPS
