  LAVP2 - limited audio-video player
for Atari STE machines, version 2

 After few years here is new version,
with new, little modified LAV format.
 New format makes possible smooth
playback from larger AHDI partitions
too. In player there is no more position
jumping, only abort key (right Shift)
and anti-interlace key (left Shift).
On some older, analog TV you will
not notice interlace, but on new,
LCD, digital ones and with TV card
in PC interlace may appear. Then
jusr press left Shift for short - interlace
should disappear.

  You can not play old format LAV
files with this.

  Smooth playback requirements:

Fast hard disk/Flash card and interface.
Speed must be at least about 1000 KB/s,
what may check from program directly -
 do it by selecting file of 5MB min - of
course best some LAV file :-)  .

With slower transfer rate you will have
choppy video, desynced and repeating
audio and similar.

50 Hz display refresh rate (PAL).
No support for NTSC (60Hz) for now.

On Falcon it means that will work
bad with VGA. So, use with RGB monitor
or TV, and PAL setting.

Program is for Atari STE machines
in first place, but will work with ST too,
without sound. New version supports
Falcon too.
