Thanks! I had trouble building mplayer 1.0pre1 with gcc-3.3 (got gcc internal
error). You had no trouble with the AltiVec part of the build
process?
Man, those optimizations give Mplayer a speedboost! Playing DivX was
normally 30%, now 2% on my G4 867 MHz (TiBook IV)!

As I understand when reading http://developer.apple.com/hardware/ve/
it's G4-only, so -g4 would be a better suffix IMO.
Like Marillat's packages have a i386 (ppc/powerpc suffix here) version for
ALL x86-based archs and i686,k7,k6 specific versions (g4 suffix) for CPU
optimized mplayer/mencoder packages.
