Title: New Frogger 2.03 Released
Post by: jd997uk on September 22, 2002, 03:43:25 AM

Frogger 2.03 (http://frogger.rules.pl/) has been released. Included in this release are new codecs for 3ivx, , indeo, mace, vorbis and Ogg.  So, don't forget to download the codecs.  The main program with support files and the codecs are contained in separate archives.  So you'll have to download both archives to get the complete update.

Frogger is shaping up to be something which has been
sorely missed on the Amiga: A movieplayer which can take
most of the commonly used formats out there. Although
2.xx is still buggy, I would encourage everybody with an
interest in having a full-featured movieplayer for the Amiga,
to register Frogger and support further development.

BTW, are there any LinuxPPC users here who could send me
the RealPlayer codecs? Seems you need Linux to get hold of
them.

Does it support Divx?

Yes, it does! :-)

It's still pretty crash prone, but at least it is under constant development.
