<Knowledge in installing datatypes>
          <Read all suppied docs carefully>

----

WANTED: Has anyone time to write an installer script for this archive ?

----

This is only a quick-rip-off of the normal archives for my ppc beta testers.
As requested by many people I've uploaded it to Aminet...
The following text is more or less unstructured, sorry.

----

The contents are all you need to play a VideoCD, except two things:
- A filesystem is missing to gain access to the MPEG System streams on the VideoCD
  (Does anyone know a filesystem which is able to do this ?)
- The mpegvideo.datatype V2.5 is currently too slow to decode directly from VideoCD.
  Working on it...

In a later version this archive should include anything to play and CREATE (!)
VideoCDs (except the burning software itself)...

----

The following normal archives contain the full stuff:
mpegsdt105.LhA     - mpegsystem.datatype
animation4106.lha  - animation.datatype
mpegadt202.LhA     - mpegaudio.datatype
mpegvdt205.LhA     - mpegvideo.datatype
