FroggerNG again

[bash64]

Uhhhhh.......


Well, you always want to start with the latest, but maybe not in this case.
Eight years ago when I was big into Amiga I used that version with Frogger040. Not enough codecs at the time, but did mpegs.

Are codecs still being developed for any of the video players on the Amiga?

Also, am I right in thinking that you really need 2 video players. 1 for AVI/QT and another for MPEG?

For 68k? Probably not.

At minimum 2.

PPC players are still actively developed.
Example:MPlayer Leitmotiv version has over 200 video codecs and over 100 audio codecs.
Even at that you still need either FroggerNG, SoftCinema, or AMP2 with linux codecs to cover IV3/4/5 etc.

thanks number6 :pint:

It would be great to know all the players that are out there, sort out what codecs are available and exactly what these players are capable of :-)

I've just been having a go of the WarpOS version of FroggerNG and so far it plays .avi .mpg. .mov .asf .vob .divx  

I also found a nice GUI for Frogger and FroggerNG. It's very similar to the great GUI for the MPEG player Amp2. Apparently Amp2 can play DVD's so I'll have to check that out.



Anyone got links to where we can get codecs for SoftCinema, MooVid and any other players? Can just take codecs from one player and put them in the drawer of another player?

For AMP2, SoftCinema, and FroggerNG V2.05 ONLY:

The internal codec for IV3 in Frogger V2.07 and MPlayer as well, is not correct. This is documented in Frogger, iirc.

MooVid homepage has some links as well:

I've tested all of the GUI's available, and although I find good points to all, I think the "argue" GUI for FroggerNG will offer you the utmost in options, if that is what you are after.
