Which Version/Binaries for G3?

[yonidass]

Could anyone please post what the last version/binaries to fully work with a G3 are? I've gone back to version k mostly out of confusion. I know there are more recent versions that worked fine for me but I can't remember which one, nor how to identify which binaries to use (BTW, can older binaries still be downloaded?).

A clarification of this, as well as possible links for downloading, would be greatly appreciated, especially for any registered G3 users.

I did not know about any versions for G3. It would be really helpfull to compile mplayer and mencoder with some optimalization. like rpm packages.
higly optimized binaries for G3.dmg
dtto for G4.dmg
dtto for G5.dmg

I believe that such step may DRAMATICALLY improve performace of such programs

The current binaries are already highly optimized, and I am going to build this week a version for G3.

Thank you major

Glad to hear binaries for the G3 are coming. Thanks again.

Any ETA on the G3 binaries version?

I'm recompiling all the libraries on a G3. Slowly building up.

Cheers on the update.

Will these binaries install over the old ones on my system or will I have to uninstall the old ones first?

*note to self: pick up a UNIX guide*

Well, put me in the queue for a G3 optmizad version.
Thanks for the good work

You may find the G3 version of mencoder and mplayer on this link:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mplayerosx/ffmpegXbinaries230105_G3.zip?download

This version is untested, so please post here any feedback.

To install, copy the unzipped files into /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX or use the self-installer (click "Install binaries" in the ffmpegX menu in the apple menu bar). The installer will think they are a wrong version and mark them in red at each launch, so for now just cancel the warning and go ahead (next version will fix this).

Major,

Thanks, it's much appreciated.

Would there be any advantages to having mpeg2enc compiled for the G3?

[major]

No, unfortunately it would keep painfully slow as it is now.

Slow is always better than 0.

Thank you much.
