okay guys here's a test version of it... player.exe plus a sample video.
http://rubbermallet.org/player.zip
specify the filename on the command line, so run:
PLAYER.EXE SIMP.MVF
if you actually want to try it on a 286, you will need a VERY fast hard drive... like i said before, i'm using a fairly new quantum drive on it. whatever originally came in your 286 will probably NOT work well but this sample vid is only 9.1 FPS to keep it small-ish so maybe it will be okay. even that is 610,850 bytes per second so probably not.
of course, nearly double that for 18.2 FPS videos. so yeah this isn't practical for a completely original 286 at all.
EDIT: as you'll no doubt notice, i still need to work on an audio buffering scheme to eliminate those annoying pops.
