XANDRA  following regarding v110 for PPC

Like the previous comment, I'm unable to get video -- just garbled diagonal lines when opening Video TS folders (these play using all my other software). I haven't tried DVD).

SPECS on a G5 PPC, 10.5.8 default nVidia graphics card 4GB RAM.

If anyone having similar issues has resolved would appreciate a post here.   
(Version 1.1.3)

JAZZYGUY  Xandra: See Above comment.You can get 1.0.5 which runs great!  
(Version 1.1.3)

NEGRITUDE  ALL versions of VLC for PPC after 1.0.6 have MAJOR bugs. You can either use 1.0.5 from the VLC web site, install 1.0.6 via MacPorts, or compile either of those versions by manually.  
(Version 1.1.3)

NEGRITUDE  And the MU admins should REMOVE the link to 1.1.0-RC for PPC. That's useless now.  
(Version 1.1.3)

LIBERTYFORALL1776  So why doesn't 1.0.6 go up on the official VideoLAN website?   
(Version 1.1.3)

NEGRITUDE  It's all explained here:

Where is VLC 1.0.6?

GBBOB  Hey there, first I want to thank you and take back my comments made because of what you said here. I am glad your company is a group of their words even if tis will be that last PPC version for the Mac,

Based on what you wrote, I want to help to help beta as well but I lack knowledge on compiling and I was hoping that you could write me in an email on how to do it for VLC or is there something else I can do to help beta it. The ball was in your court and now it is back i mine. So I want to do what ever I can to get VLC to go Platinum. You can contact me at afcgbbob@aol.com with any directions or things I could do to help. I am extremely happy that you took the high road and decided to complete the project. Again, Thank you Robert Lewis End of Line...

NEGRITUDE  There's nothing to compile. The nightly builds are just that, pre-compiled packages that are ready to run.  
(Version 1.1.3)

JCRAIG  VLC 1.0.5 still works on PPC and will continue to work. Just because updates are continuing on the Intel platform doesn't mean that previous PPC binaries suddenly break. It's unrealistic to expect the developers, especially considering the current lack of OSX devs, to continue to support a dead platform (and don't tell me about the number of PPC machines still in use).   
(Version 1.1.3)

GBBOB  Then why in July you said there was going to be a PPC upgrade done. Are you going back on your word.  
(Version 1.1.3)

GBBOB  Then why on July 31 was the following statement said:

"NEGRITUDE A debug build of VLC 1.1.2 for PPC Macs:

http://jones.videolan.org/~videolan/fpk/ppc-debug/vlc-1.1.2-git-powerpc.dmg

Note that, the reason there hasn't been an official public release of VLC 1.1.x for PPC is because of a nasty video corruption bug that only affects those machines. Be patient. They're working on it."

That is a direct Quote that was said on MacUpDate so I ask again was that statement truthful or total BS. You are the one who put your head on the chopping block by saying that. So you can make as many excuses as you want but you said there would be at least one more upgrade for PPC users so is the VideoLan Team a group of their word or all that was said was flushed down the toilet and just screwed the PPC users with a LIE. There is no way around it you said what you said very clearly and would be very difficult to come up with an excuse that would not make you look bad. The ball is in your court now. Everything is in your hands on how you deal with it and I would avoid lame excuses like the PPC user base. End of Line...

ANONSUPPORT  If you have real problems, you should post them here:

http://forum.videolan.org/viewforum.php?f=12

They can help you.

And btw, you can only be off-topic if there is a topic.  
(Version 1.1.3)

ANONSUPPORT  This should not be a big problem for you, because you always request 64-Bit Intel support, even for applications where it does not make much sense. And btw, the decoding speed of VLC has nothing to do with 64-Bit.  
(Version 1.1.3)

MISHA  We normally don't specify Intel or PowerPC under System Requirements (unless it's a particularly steep requirement, like "1.6GHz PowerPC or faster" since there weren't many PowerPC Macs that fast or "Intel 64-bit only").

Instead, we always list that information under "Platform" (right column).  
(Version 1.1.2)

THEMACMONK  I sure hope so, because that video corruption is terrible! I'm glad to hear they're working on it... I'd love to bring VLC up to date on my Macs!  
(Version 1.1.2)

ILGAZ  Could PPC Mac owners help testing git version, with a foundation like Fink for OS X doing the "dependency" heavy lifting?

I know access to PPC macs are not easy so, perhaps a page at VLC like "how to build git version with fink (or macports)" could help.  
(Version 1.1.2)

NEGRITUDE  There's no need to build anything. The development releases are here:

http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx/  
(Version 1.1.3)

CCIE  I also experienced numerous errors with v1.1.1, causing the video to be extremely choppy, to the point of being unusable.
