OMFG sorry for the fan boyishness but i'm trashing VLC right now...

but apple has got some kick-ass coders, seriously.

tiger 10.4.1

divx codec pack for mac 5.2.1



divx and xvid stuff plays back fast, smooth, resizing on the fly is good, all on me

    What I want to know is when the hell VLC will work on Tiger. Mplayer's interface is crap and hasn't been updated in years, since Mplayer 2 first came out. On the other hand, for some reason, it still seems to be able to play a small amount of stuff VLC won't. Yes, pr0n...

    I downloaded that torrent I linked here, and they play fine in QT7 for Tiger (1.42Ghz Mac mini).

    I found this to be true of QT 7.0 on OS 10.4, beautiful! QT 7.0 on Panther was a little better wrt to avi files, but still jumpy. On Tiger it has always been jog free for me...
