[MPlayer-users] G4 Powerbook, LinuxPPC. works?

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi Jason,

MPlayer depends on 2 kinds of codecs - native ones (DivX through ffmpeg if 
I'm not mistaken - for example) and other Windows codecs using WineLib which 
requires X86 compatible processor.

Basically you can compile MPlayer on Mac - but you'll be only be able to 
watch movies that can be played with the native codecs. If you got some DivX 
movies for example - then you can play it quite nicely under Mac.

Hope this helps,

Hetz
