What a brilliant Christmas present! I'm going to save it for tomorrow morning. I'll run AGAConv on it tonight and watch it on the Amiga tomorrow, as baby Jesus would've intended ;)

That’s something I’d love to see. Let me know what settings you use, and how big file is.

You’re right though, it is the real meaning of Christmas 😅

Love this show ! Happy to see a new episode !

And yes ! Didn't try to make a CDXL version of Amiga Show yet but it's an excellent idea ! I want to see it on my CD32 ! ;)

Yay!! Great show. Loved seeing a behind the scenes look at the production. Looking forward to 2022’s episodes.

Here's what I did to watch the show on my Amiga:
  1. First I used yt-dlp to download the show.
  2. Then I downloaded the lowest quality format with sound closest to the Amiga's resolution to speed up processing. I used the command

    Code: Select all

    yt-dlp -f 18 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Td1irPZzkY'
  3. Then I renamed the file to TASe07.mp4 as agaconv doesn't like files with spaces in the names.
  4. I split the file with ffmpeg at the end of a scene using the commands

    Code: Select all

    ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:14:27 -i TASe07.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy TASe07_p1.mp4
    and

    Code: Select all

    ffmpeg -ss 00:14:27 -t 00:29:35 -i TASe07.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy TASe07_p2.mp4
    This keeps the final file sizes low enough to read on an Amiga filesystem.
  5. I converted the two files with agaconv using the commands

    Code: Select all

    ./agaconv TASe07_p1.mp4 TASe07_p1.cdxl
    and

    Code: Select all

    ./agaconv TASe07_p2.mp4 TASe07_p2.cdxl
  6. After copying them to the Amiga, I played each file using agablaster.
The two files are 1.7Gb each, but watching a show made entirely on an Amiga, on an Amiga is worth the wait.

You can download the first episode in CDXL (made fully under MorphOS ^^) here :

https://archive.org/details/the-amiga-show-01 (1,2 Go for a 320*180 128 colors 15 FPS video). I'll try to make a 320*240 256 colors but it'll be more heavy, near 1,8 Go (I'm encoding it now ^^)
I made a 15 FPS CDXL because my CD32 with Terrible Fire 330 can't go faster than 16 or 17 FPS.

If you want me to delete it or not upload next episode, just say it and I'll delete all ;)

That is amazing, I was planning to do something like this myself, so that’s great.

When I have enough, I was going to upload the mpeg2 images from the disk recorder.
