Hi, I have iMac G5 (single core G5 2Ghz, 1GB and standard SATA drive).
I am very pleased how iWorks 09, Office 2008 and mp3 playback works, I am amazed with TenFourFox
but I have a bit of trouble with video playback.
I dont know are my expectations too high for single core G5 but 720 HD video playback on VLC 2.x and QuickTime is jurky
and it cant read modern Subtitles format (.SRT and similar) or at least not with every file.
Are my expectations too high - should I try DVD quality 480p DivX-xVID or I am just using wrong video players?
If CPU load is too high and VLC is the right way, could uncompressing DivX to plain uncompressed AVI help, and what
us best tool to do it on x64 Win7 or Debian? (my guess is that decompression would be faster there then on G5
