VLC is a nice media player, for the specific small subset of codecs it handles, but it can also be VERY crashy and is often much more CPU intensive than QuickTime. As for not needing QuickTime... Um... So you're saying that you NEVER EVER view any graphics or video of any type in any application on your Mac, except within VLC. Hint: It's all QuickTime. ALL. I think you're saying you just prefer VLC over QuickTIme Player? - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
