VLC should play them in OS X, but a 333 MHz G3 likely won't cut it. The frame rate will be terrible. All you'll likely see is stuttering frames and stop frames. There are some tricks to try and speed things up, but I don't think they'll be enough? Tricks: 1) Use something like SpeedFreak to dedicate all the CPU cycles to VLC. 2) Close all other programs and anything that runs in background, such as print daemons and other background startup items (look in System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items). I think you'll need to boot OS 9 to play a DVD perfectly. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
