Have you tried playing these videos in a QuickTime-compatible player with Perian installed? Perian: <http://perian.org/> For VLC on a G3, you can't run the latest version. I'm pretty sure that v8.6i is the latest that will run on G3 hardware. It is very crashy for me, though. Try here: <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html> If Perian works for you, I would suggest a lightweight player such as QTAmateur, <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18278/qtamateur> or if you are not worried about large sizes, you can play videos directly in the column view of Finder. Adjust the column width to change the size of the preview 'icon', and click the play control. I use these tools to play the flv videos downloaded from YouTube with acceptable performance on my 400MHz Pismo... - Don -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
