This is a 6502 assembly video player for the Commodore PET. Not fully finished, but I haven't really worked on it in the last 3 or 4 years.

Videos are encoded with a C++ Linux encoder, and played from a floppy drive emulator, at the incredible speed of 2.5K/s.

Yes, all the film covers shown are encoded. Due to a stupid encoder bug, films are still limited to 20 minutes...
