is it possible to use Wish I were (or wish I was) to make a Computer think it has a DVD Decoder/ have enough VRAM so that I can try to force a system to use DVD player by apple? Or does anyone know How i can get DVD player in either OS 9 or OS X to use the dvd player app.
I know that in OS X the DVD decoding is done by a plugin built into the app or system, and not Hardware decoder. I want to see if I can get the DVD Player to think I have 8MB VRAM, instead of the 6 that my PM G3 AIO has. I got the CPU up to 458MHz, and I know that DVD Player does a better job than VLC or another app does, as it is more efficient.
Anyone got any ideas?
there is a few hacks to make it work in OS 9.2.2 but you need a ATI radeon 7000 Mac Edition 32mb DDR PCI video card or better to work . Stay away from the rage 128 with dvd decoder card they some times cause problems and are unsupported on the Beige G3's 33mhz pci bus. so i would buy a radeon 7000 Mac edition PCI video card for $20-$30 USD you will also like the proformance boost that it gives. i can play dvd's on OS X and OS 9.2.2 with the AIO in my sig
just go here and download the dvd app's and do what it say's on the site to get it to work
