I recommend you use 0.9.10 on Tiger, and 1.1.12 on Leopard. It's no MPlayer or CorePlayer in terms of CPU efficiency, but is still a lightweight compared to true resource hogs like Quicktime. VLC is the all-round most stable and capable player ever made available on any OS in my opinion. In all that time I have learned a thing or three about all the playback applications available, and the strengths and weaknesses of each. To me, there is no better OS to play video on than Mac OS X, and especially on Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5), which as I'm sure you all know were the last two Apple OS to support PowerPC.Īll my life I have been a big user and collector of video since before I ever even used computers, but from 2002 on I have been willingly engulfed in digital video on Mac OS X.
I'm a big advocate of Linux and BSD for security, but when it comes to offline things, like playing video files and DVD's, I am very pro-Mac OS PowerPC.
