Hi all,
I've just swapped the original CD-drive in my beige MT/300 with a Pioneer DVR-108, applied PatchBurn and installed the Apple OSX DVD-Player from the original Panther-CDs using Pacifist. I've also flashed the Pioneer to the latest ROM-version on a PC. I'm using OSX 3.6.
But I still get choppy video with the player when there is fast motion in the film or pans. I have an ATI Radeon 7000 PCI video-card with the latest drivers installed.
Do I need a faster CPU, maybe even a G4? I've read on the G-list before that even a beige 233 Mhz DT should be able to play DVDs well if there is a hardware-decoder present. I thought the Radeon card has a good DVD-decoder.
I thought so too. I just watched Monsters Inc yesterday on my stsem, while ripping CD's into iTunes, and saw no such degradation. While mine is a G4-450, a G3-300 should surely be able to do this. Are you using Apple's DVD player app?
I don't know what you're missing.
