Some good food for thought. Thank you all! I think I've found a possible
internal DVD replacement drive. May give that a try if I can't find the
appropriate Handbrake settings.
Looking at Handbrake, it looks like I can either use an H.264 video codec or
MPEG-4 (FFmpeg) codec. Any idea which of these I should be using? I don't see
a way to use an MPEG-2 or MPEG-1 codec.
Also, I can output to either MP4 or MKV format. Recommendations?
Thanks again,
Doug

decoded the MPEG-2 video data.
A G3 just isn't up to full screen video playback.
My Smurf does just fine full screen. Just need to be careful of the source.
About the only thing to try is to use hand brake and reduce the video size
(width and height), by at least half.
Don't tweak the frame size. Change the codec. If you don't have a hardware
MPEG-2 decoder, then transcode the source into MPEG-1. That will most
certainly play - even full screen.
