Video Stream

Just out of curiosity, a video stream from the SD card. Files to be written on a freshly formatted SD card for an ‘acceptable’ data rate. Conversion of the Goldorak opening sequence into 691 frames.

   

 

Awesome ! I wonder if a RLE compressed sequence (decompressed using the line() function) would be faster.

I don’t think drawing an image line by line with line() would be faster than loading a fully decompressed one. In my tests, even copying 16-pixel lines with memset already takes quite a bit of time to fill a big area.
It might work with images made specially for RLE compression (no patterns, big flat colour areas, etc.).

But finally,when I did this test, I saw that you can get a perfectly smooth quarter-screen video.
