What's going to be involved in doing this optimising ? I'd definitely like to go 'Mac'<br>
at some point if possible, but there's wouldn't be too much point until there is<br>
a version of mplayer, mythtv, xine etc that runs as good as on PC.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know what kind of shape mplayer on the Mac is in ?<br>

1.5GHz G5's.<br>Intel learned a bit from IBM on that one.<br><br>- Mark<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a>
