Hi all,
Has anyone gotten their G3 or G4 iBook's DVD player to play DVD movies
under any flavor of Linux? (Running any Linux based DVD playing
software)
Here is where I'm at so far:
I got totem-xine installed onto my G3 600 Mhz "Dual-USB" iBook running
PowerPC Ubuntu Linux (Debian based distro). My video card is an ATI
Rage Mobility 128 8MB 2x AGP.
It took the following deb packages to be installed before it would
allow me to install totem-xine:
libgpg-error0_1.0-1_powerpc.deb
libdvdcss2_1.2.8-0.0_powerpc.deb
libopencdk8_0.5.5-8_powerpc.deb
libdvdplay0_1.0.1-6_powerpc.deb
libstartup-notification0_0.7-1_powerpc.deb
libgcrypt11_1.2.0-4_powerpc.deb
libtasn1-2_0.2.10-3_powerpc.deb
libgcrypt7_1.1.90-9_powerpc.deb
libgnutls11_1.0.16-9_powerpc.deb
totem-xine_0.99.16-1_powerpc.deb
dpkg also required me to uninstall totem-gstreamer.
Once installed, the DVD video/audio playback is very choppy (skipping
a lot of video frames) and audio is slightly out of sync with the
video.
I know that DVDs played fine when OS 9 was installed on this computer.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.
