Frogger 2.06

It still goes badly out of sync on my Pegasos, unfortunately.

Works like a champ here on my Peggy too. Did you remember to download and install the new codecs too? (Velly important!)

Yes, of course I did. I've done everything to get this damn thing to run properly. It never has.

I'm surprised most people haven't noticed this sync bug. You all must be watching videos a few minutes long. Watch a movie lasting an hour and a half and you'll soon see it. After 20 minutes, the sync is noticably off. After 40, it's off so badly it makes the rest of the file unwatchable. At the end of the file, the sync is off almost by a full three seconds.

And it still hangs sometimes when you use that scroller. If Frogger has rebuild the index of an AVI, that scroller will do bad things - like freeze Frogger or even the whole system. This, needless to say, is a complete pain.

Frogger IMHO is the player equivalent to Voyager 3 - everyone keeps saying the same bugs are fixed, but they never are.

All big files go out of sync. AVI are worse than mpeg, and divx-AVI seem worst of all. I haven't tried VCD (I have a DVD player ;-))

I've just finished watching 3 half-hour Mpeg movies. The sync was perfect in all three. Scrolling halfway through and back to the beginning also didn't cause a lockup. I'm using a CSPPC 233, not Pegasos though, so this probably isn't much help.

You won't see sync problems with 30 minute mpegs. Try 45 minute AVIs and 60 minute mpegs and you might.

I'm not the only one to see this sync problem, but I still wonder - why do so many people not see it?

AMP has this problem, yes, but the problem is not speed. A G3 should be able to play a DVD-quality DIVX three times over.
