No. The 'Flash hack' only works in cases where a site requires a

Vimeo is not one of those.

Vimeo does have some bandwidth issues, but the video itself, and their  
having every video available in HTML5 is nice. I like Vimeo because of  
the number of full HD videos available. I normally overcome Vimeo's  
poor streaming by simply downloading the video I wish to see, I've  
recently been using RealPlayer Downloader 12.0.0(1569) which seems to  
work with most sites including Vimeo.


Here's my favorite Vimeo HD 720p video of a women's cyclocross in  
Namur, Belgium, it's a short 8 minute work of art which plays fine as  
a download on my G5, but struggles as a stream. This video plays both  
directly from Vimeo & embedded on my PPC G5 w/10.5.8 under Safari  
Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) as a Flash stream using Vimeo's "Moogaloop  
Player v.5.2.25" which says "About Flash Player 10" meaning it doesn't  
use the newer Flash Player requirements. There's a link at the bottom  
of the video for the HTML5 stream instead, so you can do whatever  
works for you. For this video to be fully appreciate on a PPC Mac it  
needs to be downloaded (193.6MB) which takes some time:

Vimeo vid not working on MDD

[Jörg Duurkoop]

Hi everyone,

I followed the Flash discussion here (thanks Kris for your research)
and installed the last version that works on G4 PowerMacs as Kris
stated.

I have a dual 1.25 MDD running Tiger 4.11 and use the special Camino
build by Mosley (IIRC) who makes CPU-specific versions for Camino.
Mine is 2.0.9 (1.9.0.19 2011091411).

But every time I want to play video from an embedded Vimeo player
nothing happens. Is there any workaround?

Thanks for your suggestions/remarks.

Best regards, Jörg.
