VLC not working on a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.8

[m83127]

Hi all, tried to install and run VLC on a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.8. Error message says VLC 2.0.9 (fresh download from the VideoLan site) not supported on this architecture ?? Can anyone help or offer advice??

thanks in advance....

I'll assume you meant OSX 10.5.8. Did you download the PowerPC version?

https://get.videolan.org/vlc/2.0.9/maco ... owerpc.dmg

Although I'm not sure if the G4 is supported in that version, so failing the above, try:

As long as the PowerPC-based Mac runs 10.5.something, VLC 2.0.9 will run regardless of the CPU being a G4 or a G5. Just use the special PowerPC-version though like kdean said.
