Play back certain .avi movies on Intel Macs
Also pure speculation, but another idea I came up with is that maybe the codec IS supported in Quicktime, but there's a complicated (endian-related?) conversion calc required on the PPC side that caused QuickTime to seem to 'hang'? Or that the routine used in the codec is somehow native to the Intel Processor and not to the PPC?
Play back certain .avi movies on Intel Macs
My understanding is that to play back most AVI movies in Quicktime Player you would need the Divx or 3ivx codec installed on your machine. Some programs, like Toast, come with the Divx codec. However, you can also find them online. Try installing these codecs on your PowerPC machines first.
The whole endian theory discussed above seems unlikely to me. Try using VLC Player or Mplayer. I bet they play the file. Also, replacing a system file from a PowerPC Mac with one from an Intel Mac seems like a sure way to screw things up. Use Software Update if you need the latest version of things. |
