Post by: LP on June 16, 2003, 02:38:17 PM: FroggerNG (2.06) is by far the most supportive of the two programs it supports the following media types:

Supported video codecs:
AVI/QT/ASF/OGG
DIVX (M$ Mpeg-4) v1, v2, v3
Angel Potion MPEG-4
Radius Cinepak
OpenDivx/Divx4.x/Divx5.x
Windows Media Video 7
Windows Media Video 8
ISO MPEG-4
XVID MPEG-4
CCITT H.263
Intel I.263
Several MPEG 'I Frame only' video codecs.
Sorenson Video (SVQ1)
Sorenson Video 3 (SVQ3)
Motion JPEG (MPJA, MJPB, Photo JPEG, Rainbow Runner, and other jpeg based codecs)
3ivx Mpeg-4
Intel Indeo 3.x
Apple Animation (RLE)
Microsoft RLE 8
Uncompressed RGB video
Microsoft Video 1
Apple Graphics (SMC)
Several uncompressed YUV formats
Huffman YUV
On2 VP3
RM
RV10
PSX Video v2 & v3
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
RoQ Video

Supported audio codecs:
AVI/QT/ASF/OGG/WAV
MPEG Audio Layer I/II/III
DVIADPCM
MSADPCM
IMA4
GSM 6.10
PCM (8/16/24/32 bits)
TWOS/SOWT
a-Law
u-Law
MSN Audio
MACE 3:1/6:1
Vorbis
WMA 1/2
MPEG-4 AAC
RealAudio 1.0
RealAudio 2.0
XA Audio
RoQ Audio

As you can see Frogger has a huge list of support, Moovid hasn't got so many codecs to offer but is the fastest of the two. MooVid supports the following:

AVI and MOV files in a single executable.
QT streaming video (QT3+), and QT 64bit files.
INTEL INDEO 3.1 & 3.2 (IV31/IV32)

The information here is cut and paste from the docs so it should be pretty reliable...

MooVid as I mentioned before is the fastest decoder on my 060, but I guess if you have a PPC speed wouldn't be so much of a problem if you're just going to watch movies.

In short:
Frogger has the best support
MooVid has greatest speed (on my 060 anyway, don't know if anyone will say the opposite)

Hope this helps you out a bit.

Post by: KennyR on June 16, 2003, 02:41:15 PM: No contest. Frogger is faster, supports more streams, and is PPC native. MooVid, as far as I know, is not. And you'll never be able to play a divx on 68k anyway.

Post by: LP on June 16, 2003, 02:56:37 PM: MooVid 1.5 is also PPC native, but it has some twirks to it. As far as I recall it has acceleration on all of it's supported codecs beside INDEO.

The auther says that he'll give all codecs PPC support if he sees interest for it...

Post by: Crumb on June 16, 2003, 03:29:23 PM: Moovid is fast, supports divx etc and doesn't crash.
Frogger is slow, crashes but supports lots of formats...

Frogger: Frogger Rules (http://frogger.rules.pl)

MooVid: HomePage (http://www.dfmk.hu/~torokl/MooVId.html)

I know I didn't answer the question, but I figured the websites needed to be listed here.

Post by: Ponos2D on June 16, 2003, 08:08:05 PM: My BlizzardPPC 603e@300(66MHz BUS) is not
enough for normal playback of DIVX in higher
resolutions than 340x280

Maybe it's because of context switching between
68k and PPC

Maybe OS4 for BPPC will speed up the things....

Post by: lionstorm on June 17, 2003, 12:46:30 PM: I would say frogger supports a lot of formats but counterpart is players are not optimised so fully used cpu to play a little mp3.
Both are shareware.
Depends on how fast is your machine.
