There is this very Sirius (or Sirius Publishing, more precisely) family of video codecs (plus one container format) apparently developed by two guys (who like to spam their name even in junk sections of AVI files). Also initially it had its own container format but later they’ve started to target AVI.| Kostya's Boring Codec World
Back in the day I looked at the format and recently, to distract myself from game formats, I decided that it might be a good not the worst idea to implement decoding it.| codecs.multimedia.cx
In my last post I mentioned I need to deal with MP3 in AVI and multi-threaded decoding. The former turned out to be a simple bug (I should’ve not trusted AVI header reporting 12-bit audio), and I gave up on the latter.| codecs.multimedia.cx
Since I had nothing better to do and remembered about one mostly finished format, I decided to add its support to na_game_tool. The game in question is called either Cydonia: Mars – The First Manned Mission or Lightbringer (with two variations of sub-title).| codecs.multimedia.cx
