Re: End of support for MacOS X.4

As a VLC user with 3 PPC machines, 2 on Tiger, 1 on Leopard (due to system requirement issues), I am disheartened to hear this. There are tons of users -- and machines out there that will be affected, the real extent won't be realized until the change to drop support is done (I would guess that the ...

FLV color pixelation - color loss / green & magenta blocks

Problem: FLV color pixelation - color loss combined with random green & magenta blocks in *SOME* flv videos. Please note that I am able to play *MOST* FLV videos in full color in VLC 9.8x (and a home-compiled GIT built 1.0 v ) and most / many FLV videos look great, but there are a portion of vid...

Re: VLC 0.9.8a

Did a manual download of the latest stable version, supposedly 9.8a... deleted prefs to start with new version. Upon launch the version check said you have 9.8, not 9.8a, do you wish to download? and wherever the program links to for a download got a second version of 9.8 instead of 9.8a as well. Qu...

Re: No PPC Nightlies since the 11th

ahhh, well, to me, this is all new. Was unaware of the "waterfall" which is why I thought it may be just a lack of hardware to do the job. Having not programmed anything since Apple II BASIC in the early 80's, I'm a bit embarassed at my lack of abilities. Thanks for introducing me to the r...

Re: GIT 1.0 nightly won't Quit - PPC

Many Thanks! Wish I had those skillz to help.

Best Regards,

And, BTW, I found the perfomance of .9 versions very good, but perhaps my expectations are too low...very appreciative of VLC, it is #1 player for me, and all I have are old ppc machines! TY!

Re: No PPC Nightlies since the 11th

Wow: impressive...thanks for sharing that insight.

I have a few PPC G4 machines, and one G3 if ever it would be needed to attempt another build.

Many thanks.

GIT 1.0 nightly won't Quit - PPC

1) whether using the nightly build of 9.11.08 posted, or the GIT build I did myself as of today 11.1.08, the VLC application won't Quit. Have to force quit the appliation. I did delete the old prefs files with the script. Otherwise, performance of these GIT builds is excellent, and the problems with...

Re: No PPC Nightlies since the 11th

They may not be a "due", but since "Mac OS X PowerPC" is listed in the column of "nightly builds" and not the column which specifies that nightly builds aren't automatically built (implying that the first column labeled "nightly builds" is true to its name) th...

Not to be a badger...and I well read and understood that there was no ETA from funman's post above. That said, as we approach the 2 month point without a PPC nightly build could someone shed some light on what the problem or holdup is? Is it a software problem? a compiler problem? perceived lack of ...

Ok, so was this problem resolved?

Did anyone notice that there hasn't been a PPC nightly posted since the 28th of last month?

I have found a few videos with the same type of encoding that don't open--rather, they open, but are audio only.


(they also don't work with quicktime w/ "flipforMac", DivX, or mPlayer either)

interesting to hear if anyone has had luck.

just a follow up, and I'm sure you're already aware of this, but just to be sure. The good news is in attempting the nightly of 9-21 it is noted that checking "enable" no longer crashes the video playing, leaving the audio running as it did before; the controls are inoperative except for &...

Extended Control-Image Adjustments-enable = audio only

If while a file is playing one opens the Extended Controls > Image Adjustment and clicks "enable" the video disapears and the audio continues to play. If, one leaves the "enable" checked and goes to preferences, does a "reset all" and "save" the dialog, one ca...
