I am on a dual 1.8 G5 and I'am glad to say that with version 0.9.3 playback now is even better than with version 0.8.6. Version 0.9.2 was the worst VLC release in ages, videos stalled as if I was using a G3.

0.9.3 much better than 0.9.2 - Alejandro G5
I did not know about the Altivec issue. Post feedback after your test. BTW: I am using system 10.5.5.Saturday, September 27 2008 @ 06:56 PM PDT

I read on their forums that they forgot to enable Altivec optimizations on the last build of 0.9.2. Reverting to 0.8.something fixed the problem for me. I'm looking forward to seeing how this version of VLC does on my old iBook.Reply to This
