I tried to play a DVD (using the DVD drive in my PowerBook G4). The cpu at apm -L (666 MHz) was too slow; apm -A (up to 1333 MHz) was better. Also, the default video output was broken; it showed a black screen (except for the highlighted "Play All" menu item). I used Tools -> Preferences -> Video to change the output from Automatic to XVideo (XCB); this fixed my video. The problem with the default video might be in Xorg or Mesa; I don't know if OpenGL video ever worked on this PowerBook5,4 (radeondrm; ATI Radeon Mobility M10; ATI RV350). I didn't try older version of vlc. --George
