Frogger & DivX movies

[Cass]

Well, this was a posting on the news section, but didn't get much attention:

Finally a decent DiVX player for AMiGA!!!
I just installed it and I have some questions:

1. What would be the best parameter settings in order to get the best of the player?

2. If I set NOSKIP, I watch the movie with half its frame rate. If I omit NOSKIP, I get 98% of the frames skipped?!?! Anyway to skip every 2 frames (just to keep viewable the movie)?

It decodes the first frame of the deltaframe, and then jumps to the next deltaframe, skipping all the intermediate frames. Is there anyway to keep the video fluid (prebuffer the deltaframes, and skip every 2nd-3rd movie frame)?


P.S. The config is:
CSPPC 604@150/060@50 WOS 5.1
CV3D P96

This is it. Any expert out there that has watched a DivX movie on an accelerator board (not a 600-800MHz PPC)?

Sounds like we have to move on more powerful machines (I'm planing to buy an AmigaOne when OS4 will be availiable -I'd buy OS4 for my CSPPC also- ), but I'd like to see these nice programs running on my A4000.

P.S.
I mistaken the forum (Hardware instead of Software). If there is any moderator on-line, might be as kind to move it to the right section?

Thanx redrumloa (the nickname seems to be inspired by the OverLook hotel room).
I was reading a post about hardware issues, and I mistakenly added a thread. :python:

By the way, any CSPPC user willing to test the new frogger?

The whole point was if there was any chance of making it work on a standard accel. board by optimizing it's code:

It decodes the first frame of the deltaframe, and then jumps to the next deltaframe, skipping all the intermediate frames. Is there anyway to keep the video fluid (prebuffer the deltaframes, and skip every 2nd-3rd movie frame)?

But I think there isn't any free time to dedicate on such matters ("If you can't optimize, buy a faster CPU" ;-) ). Afterall the whole thing is probably hidden in the codecs.
