The maximum playback length of AnimPlayer is limited only by the amount of free available system memory with a maximum total usage of 2 GigaByte (see below). If AnimPlayer operates in YUV 4:2:2 or RGB 16 bit colorspace only 2 bytes (16 bit) are needed to store a single pixel, i.e.: • 5 seconds (125 frames) of PAL Video (720 x 576 pixels) requires about 100 MB of free RAM. This is half the amount of memory used by any other available player. Even though today memory is not expensive, it is still the limiting factor in playback length of all RAM based players. Therefore a special Pro version of AnimPlayer is currently under development. It will be able to playback minutes of footage in very high quality.
