Q: Play .mkv videos on a Powerbook G4?
I have a Powerbook G4 Titanium with a 1GHz processor, 512MB SDRAM and 64MB VRAM.
I have just upgraded from Mac OS X 10.2 to 10.4 and I'm just using this as a secondary computer for medial whatnots.
It took me awhile to even GET these .mkv videos onto this thing from my primary computer (Dropbox or CD-R ended up being my only two options because the USB 1.1 can't power my external HDD) but now I seem to be unable to even play these videos.
I am using an old archived version of VLC media player (up to date for the book) but it gives me the "your computer is too slow error", I can hear the sound and some video but it is tearing and all sorts of choppy.
SO! Does anyone know a way to get these .mkv's to play correctly? Or is this thing really "too slow"?
Thanks in advance,
