Short: Ultimate MPEG video player (PPC v1.54) Author: Miloslaw Smyk, Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz, Przemyslaw Gruchala Uploader: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz Type: gfx/show Replaces: gfx/show/FroggerPPC_15.lha Architecture: ppc-powerup Www: http://jota.wi.tuniv.szczecin.pl/~bjsebo/Frogger/ Short ------ Frogger is the ultimate MPEG video player, with MPEG-2 layer support. Frogger was oryginally relased by Miloslaw Smyk (thorgal@wfmh.org.pl), recently, the development has been taken over by Sebasian Jedruszkiewicz (bjsebo@jota.wi.tuniv.szczecin.pl) Additional programming was made by Przemyslaw Gruchala. Changes in this release ------------------------ - Sometimes white stripes were visible on decoded image. Fixed. The fixed routine is now also a bit faster. (0.02%;) - Fixed several other bugs. stability has been improved. - Fixen pen allocation handling. Pens were not released. - New, faster demultiplication routines. - There were enforcer hits, when frogger was started under WOS. Fixed. - Changed window title to: "Movie: filename (widthxheight)". Blame Miroslaw Bagrowski for that suggestion ;) - Added missing YUV->8bpp conversion routine (cgfx). It has been optimized, and is also used in AGA display right now. It seems like the 8bpp mode is fastest again ;) (on cgfx of course). - New stream recognition routine. The previous one had problems with some streams. - 68k version crashed when stream could not be recognized. Fixed. - fixed problems with audio decoding. Also the audio task sometimes failed to exit properly, which should not happen again. - Applied some bugfixes and patches done by Przemyslaw Gruchala. - PPC AGA memory cleanup routine was broken (mis-alligned FreeMem) Fixed. - VideoCD reading is now supported in 68k version. - A lot of small optimizations in video decoder. As a result video decoding is 5-10% faster (depending on options used). Check the @{"Speed " link "spd"} section. - A lot of other bug fixes. - There is new Splitter, new Argue GUI, and mpegjoin ready to download at Frogger home page. - Last but not least: status of Frogger has been changed. Now it is shareware. See @{" Registration " link "reg"}. - There will be a lot of new features added, as soon as I will find a day or two free... - After receiving a couple of request, I decided to resurect 030 version. - Fixed some problems that appeared on picasso running systems. - Rafal Sanda has made a great job with the SCSI support for VideoCD option. God bless him ;) - Frogger now needs frog.library to run. It is included. Please refer to guide inside archive for more info.
