Need codec for powerpc mac

I have an early iMac G5 with the Powerpc processor, therefore the new Snow Leopard cannot be used. Some of my videos (.avi) will only play with sound and no video. I am trying to find a codec which will work. All that I have seen and tried (i.e DivX 7) will only work with the Intel processor. Can anyone suggest where I can download one that might work?
Thanks

VLC Media Player will play anything you throw at it.

    The latest software I found for that model was for Mac OS 10.7.
    I expect you are running Mac OS 10.8 or Mavericks in which case contact Canon and see if they have updated their drivers for your MX 340 Scanner / Printer.

  • AIR runtime for PowerPC MAC

    Hi,
    I am running PowerPC MAC and I want to install AIR runtime. The latest one is 2.0.2 but in documentation I read that it doesn't support old PowerPC processor and I must install AIR runtime of 1.5 version. But anyway if I go to http://get.adobe.com/air it redirect me to http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions and there is only 2.0.2 version available.
    How can I get old 1.5 version?
    Thanks,
    //pyso

    Hi thilgen,
    thanks for tip but unfortunately it doesn't succeed  to instal AIR runtime even from link you offered.
    There is  message "Starting instal...." but that's all what it did.
    I  tried it on two different PowerPC G5 machimes with the same OS: MAC OS X  10.4.11 but with the same result
    Any other idea what's wrong?
    thanx

    There's none. You need to either install it from the computer's original disks or buy an iLife 09 or earlier DVD.

  • Is there a Flash Player 10 Debugger version for PowerPC Macs?

    At http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html  in the debugger version section, I see only content debugger for Intel-based Macs.  My main development system is a PowerPC Mac.
    I see a link below that titled "Flash Player 10 Projector content debugger" but no explanation of what "Projector" means. I am hesitant to install this since it appears different than other debuggers and I have had a lot of trouble with losing connectivity to FP debuggers in the past.
    Is there any way for me to debug my project with FP10?
    Thanks.

  • Internet Explorer options for PowerPC Mac

    I needed another computer at work strictly for internet browsing, so I decided I could save a few bucks by upgrading my old, dust-gathering 1st gen mac mini (powerpc) to 1 gig ram and OS 10.4.11 (instead of buying a new desktop). However, there is a crucial website that I need to use for work, but it operates only on an IE browser (version 5.5 or better). Do I have any options either with bootcamp, or some other software? thanks

    Use Virtual PC or the Q emulator. Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, and CrossOver Mac will only run on an Intel Mac.

  • Anti virus software - do i need it for my mac?

    Hi - with all the publicity in the news about the hacking of PC's and we only have 2 weeks to protect our computers from hackers - would you recommend that we purchase particular software for our iMac's to combat this forthcoming attack?  Any information gratefully received.  x

    with all the publicity in the news about the hacking of PC's and we only have 2 weeks to protect our computers from hackers
    You have to protect your computers from hackers all the time. The point is that you have to do that, and delegating that responsibility to some magical product that claims the ability to do it for you is an ineffective defense.
    There is no two week countdown to anything; there never has been.
    - would you recommend that we purchase particular software for our iMac's to combat this forthcoming attack? 
    Absolutely not. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • I need drivers for my Mac cube speakers to operate with Snow Leopard on my MacMini

    I have upgraded to Snow Leopard OS on my MacMini and the old speakers from my Cube no longer work.  Snow Leopard doesn't have the drivers.  Are there any driver out there that will enable me to continue to use the speakers, they look cool compared to aftermarket USB speakers and the embeeded speaker is not good.

    NHT is a brand similar to Yamaha "superzero" is the model name:
    If you are looking for an inexpensive alternative might try amazon & search for "Computer speakers"

  • I need help for a mac book with no delete key

    i watched some tutorials and some of the stages required the use of a deleted key (to undo a shape creation in pages, deleting a column in pages) and i was wondering how to do these tasks without a delete key.

    I presume your delete key is broken. With text files you can mouseover and hit the space bar, but I cannot imagine not having a delete key.
    If you are referring to the Unix style delete (delete to right of cursor) as opposed to the backspace, you use the Fn-delete combination which makes the delete behave that way.

  • I Killed Quick time (going to reinstall OSX and need ac3codec for mac)

    Hi,
    I killed my quick time. I have a video file I want to play (a project I'm working on with others.) anyway, it has 5.1 audio. The video plays, but no audio. I put the file on the XP and still no audio. I played it on Divx player. It says I'm missing Tag 8192.
    So after a quick Google, i get ac3codec for the XP, install... and i get the audio on the XP with the video.
    Off to find the codec for the mac...I found a file, i forget where i got it, placed it in the /libary/qucktime. and none of my .avi files will play any more, just a white screen. my .mov files seem to work fine. I remove the codec, and QT is still busted.
    In reading the fourms here, it seems Quicktime is part of OSX, so there is no real, uninstall...reinstall thing, is that correct? Unless there is another suggestion, I plan on reinstalling OSX tonight. This should restore QT.
    Also, is there a ac3codec type thing for the mac?

    Ok, i'm getting really bent. I don't get how these played before and now they don't. I'm still not getting it to work.
    Here is the movie format: XVID, 608 x 272, Unknown
    I went here to get a codec: http://www.xvidmovies.com/mac/
    i down loaded the codec for OSX
    I end up with a file called: XVIDDelegate and i put in in the root of the HD\Libary\QuickTime.
    Still does not play.
    there is an instruction file.
    "First you need DivX 5 (http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/). Then, if you are
    on MacOS X, drop "XVIDDelegate.component" into /Library/QuickTime, or if
    you are on MacOS 9, drop "XVIDDelegatePPC" into your Extensions folder
    and restart."
    So i go to dvix.com, and it seems i have to pay $20. I'm really confused, maybe its just frustration blinding me. Most of my avi files played, now they don't.
    Thoughts?

  • Apple support for PowerPC users

    So I'm at a point where I may by a Leopard family pack for my PowerBook and PowerMac G4s. I see, however, that Apple is releasing Snow Leopard for the Intel crowd. Do you think there will be more big releases for PowerPC Macs or will we just get updates to OSX 10.5? I mean, I don't want to spend $239 on a Family pack box set and they release Lynx 10.6 for us or something.
    Thanks.

    Speculation on this board is not permitted. Please read terms of use on the right. Your question asks for speculation. What is known is that Snow Leopard won't work on your PowerPC Macs, according to the official word here:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    Apple has always in the past also bundled the current operating system with new machines.
    Also your G4s should be 867 Mhz or faster to use Leopard, and have at least 512 MB of RAM, and 9 GB of free hard disc space (24 GB is preferable for 100 GB or larger hard drives)
    If they aren't you can't use Leopard on those machines.
    Before upgrading to Leopard, make sure you consider what you need to consider for every upgrade*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    Leopard doesn't support Classic, but a dual-partition Leopard/Tiger, or dual hard drive (one being Firewire, or IDE, or SATA in G5s) with Tiger on the second drive, will allow you to keep Classic. Mac OS 9 booting if available to your Mac, will persist through a Leopard upgrade. To figure out the difference, see my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html
    Leopard will NOT give you Boot Camp on PowerPC Macs. For that you need one of these Intel emulation packages*:
