So why does it work with the OS 9 decoder ring in these machines? Is the decoder also a graphic booster item? None of the answers this summer regarding playing DVDs on Powerbooks seem to make much sense. There seem to be some information missing. I asked earlier why VLC and DVDplayer can play mounted DVD images fine with full screen support, but with .vob files from the same disc it fails completely. If these are reburnt to disc, they work again. Why? If there is no hardware decoding as some have suggested, on what level does the MPEG2 software decoding work and why does it fail in some wrappings to decode MPEG2 effectively? I do have a hard time believing that there is no hardware decoding active in some models under OS X as the difference in performance results have been so staggering. I also wonder why DVDplayer can't play over S-Video at all (Blank grey picture) on my Powerbook G4 / 400, but VLC can. S-video worked already with my PDQ..... -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
