I haven't worked up the guts to try QT6 yet. Currently have 5. Each time I upgrade QuickTime, video playback gets slower and slower and slower. Is QT6 worth it, or should I stay gunshy? Someone in efnet#macintosh just pointed me to http://download.divx.com/divx/divx_mac_50a3_installer.sit The web site and docs say it requires a 400-MHz G3 or faster. Ignoring that, I installed it anyway. Some of the divx files I've obtained play smoothly, albeit more pixelated than mpeg-1 files. But some - mostly the ones that have larger windows - are very jerky, dropping down to one or two fps. What is "Turbomem"? - Dan. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
