Re: End of support for MacOS X.4

I am sorry but there is more then just 25% of Mac users using tiger. There is alot of systems that cant run Leopard (unless the user modded leopard to run on the said system like i did). but this topic makes me sick. Why not just drop OS X altogether, or build one version of 1.0 for tiger and one fo...

Re: VLC 0.9.2 extremely choppy video compared to 0.8.6i

yea i posted a topic about 0.9.2s slowness. in 0.8.6i everything plays great (except anything in a .mkv) on my G4.

it seems we have a regression going on here. instead of getting better things got allot worse. i will be staying with 0.8.6i until i see that it has improved.

very slow on PPC Mac

Hello

the new 0.9.2 version of VLC is very slow on a G4 PPC. even playing low quality divx video plays very choppy, it bogs the hole system down, i had to move back to 0.8.6I to be-able watch any video.

Re: how to stop display of "error messages"?

when the next error message pops up put a checkmark in the be quiet or W/E it says and press dismiss. in preferances make sure you have advanced checkmarked then start digging for anything that says be quiet (which will make the error messages go bye bye) then click on save.
