Dvd Player 10.4.11 Mac OS 10

This topic is surely for Tiger/G4-only since G5 (to my knowledge) doesn't allow disabling Altivec and OSX 10.5 Leopard refuses to boot without Altivec. The GPU DVD Player is activated by disabling the Altivec subcore within the G4 CPU, Altivec is switched On/Off via software commands and rebooting. The regular DVD Player uses mostly Apple software while this 2nd player I'm referring to uses mostly GPU hardware. Mac OS 10.4.11, but will be upgrading to Mac 10.5 at a later date Surround sound support (Dolby 5.1, DTS) Movies are intended for use with an v1 Apple TV, so no disk images or VIDEOTS folders.OSX 10.4 Tiger on a G4 computer contains a secret 2nd DVD Player that has a picture quality far superior to the default DVD Player(s). As a result, 99 of DVD rippers for Mac will go awry like DVD won't load, encounter a large number of tracks with the same runtime, show impossibly 40gb or more of data but output just several KB.To rip the severely protected DVDs, the workaround is to resort to MacX DVD ripper that is built in DVD analysis scheme to crack Sony ARccOS, Disney X.

This secret player I'm describing is like a what-if scenario, what-if there wasn't such heavy sabotage. DVD quality was sabotaged industry-wide, especially to try and help sell Blu Ray beginning in 2006. So it is, my altivecless Tiger G4 GPU DVD Player generates a video quality that humiliates all my other players including DVD on stand alone Blu Ray.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.3.x, you will need PatchBurn for 10.3.x for support. If you are using Mac OS X 10.4.2, the latest version 10.4.11 is a free update we recommend installing. &t=1326665Drive is Plug & Play natively supported by Apple iLife, Apple iDVD, etc with Mac OS X 10.4.3 and later. I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro G5 edition GPU, in my overclocked MDD-2003, see. The various models of GPU determine how good or bad.

Put Skidmarks in the Dock, after running it the result for 'Vec:' will contain a number if Altivec is On or it will be blank if Altivec is Off.DVD Player - FREE. On the desktop, the best Altivec profiler is 'Skidmarks GT' mini app found in the Developer Tools. Then type 'mac-boot' or 'bye' to continue booting. Firmware command 'setenv boot-args novmx=1' disables Altivec, command 'setenv boot-args' enables.

Acrowsoft DVD Ripper for Mac is the most professional DVD ripping solution for Mac users. Key features: - Play DVD video disc. It combines a powerful media engine with a clean and modern interface to ensure the best user experience.

Certain 3D games can run faster because they had been using Altivec in place of GPU and disabling Altivec forces these games to switch into using GPU for 3D. Music can be encoded without 'Velocity Engine' maps being added to new music files. It's ideal DVD ripping tool for Mac users.The Terminal can also control and profile Altivec,Type 'sysctl hw.vectorunit' to get a 1 or 0 telling On/Off.'sysctl hw.optional.altivec' does the same profiling, 1 or 0 telling On/Off.Then restart the computer to effect Altivec change.Disabling Altivec essentially places the G4 CPU into a G3 emulation mode, and has many other uses.

Slow Motion less than 1X literally means the computer likely struggles to play normally by dropping frames to less than 30 fps, whereas Fast Motion resulting from the Slow button means 24 fps or 30 fps play without dropping any frames, 40 to 50 fps can be achieved. But when I disable Altivec my ATI 9600 in my MDD-2003 lays out 'slow motion' much faster than 1X, got to see this to believe it. Usually this results in 'slow motion' because the computer struggles to deliver one frame after the next, the speed of play will look less than 1X that of real life. Pixar's game 'Ratatouille' is one example.Apple DVD Player has a psycho feature in 'slow' motion, that is when you press Space to Pause and then press and hold right arrow to step ahead nonstop.

Apple wants me to think I ought to upgrade to a happy new Intel unit.Now I'm gonna tweak OpenGL. Sluggish menus, sluggish mouse pointer, prerecorded cutscenes dropping frames, real time rendered cutscenes take way too long to play out and the audio doesn't sync with the video, game itself sluggish. And, there's this:RATATOUILLE computer game by Pixar (2007).Shall we play? I just tried it on my PPC mega-MDD OSX 10.4.8 (without modified OpenGL) and it stank. Example, if you use the verbosity during boot mode '-v' then you can have both verbosity and novmx by saying boot-args='-v novmx=1' or boot-args='novmx=1 -v'Cateye, my next thread ('RAM taxation') is going to make these last two threads roll over and play nice.

Also to prove it, let's disable Altivec and see what happens!Brad, I know it's unusual. We could put a thermometer probe to the GPU heatsink (since it hasn't a computerized sensor) and we'll find GPU stays cold during Altivec rendering, hot during GPU rendering. Several ways to prove this. Reboot.Playing again now, and holy shit! So that's how it's SUPPOSED to look and feel.What happened is the bad version used Altivec for rendering in 3D and appeared to struggle to keep up, then, the pre-Intel OSX 10.4.2 OpenGL thought it better to use the GPU.

I doubt my software is what's causing this, I think it's maybe model specific to MDD 2003 maybe PowerMac G5, probably a non issue with all older models and probably not allowed by Apple to impact Intel models negatively.When I disable Altivec in 10.4.2 there is little change in the Rat game, GPU stays the main renderer and there's maybe a tiny slowdown due to missing Altivec enhancements in audio play or minor gfx touchups.When I disable Altivec in 10.4.8 thru 10.4.11, Ratatouille grinds to a near halt, losing its main renderer and refusing to adopt GPU. This quirk shows me Altivec could emulate the GPU and its games from like 3 or 4 years earlier, if one wished. I love Altivec, not it's fault.

And yes to me the conspiracies are more than theory, sorry if you're bothered.I don't stay with Altivec disabled all the time. Moving the 10.4.2 OpenGL into my favorite OS 10.4.8 is a method of showing exactly which module is at issue (OpenGL in conjunction with 9700 card driver) and demonstrating the game can be played how I want it to in 10.4.8 thru 10.4.11OS hacking has nothing to do with it, I keep fresh install discs and images of fresh installs to experiment upon, my tweaks to OSX aren't causing or affecting this. Single frames per second.It's not speculation that Rat (2007) is one of many games which runs correctly in OSX 10.4.2 but drags badly in OSX 10.4.4 and up. 10.4.8 Rat without Altivec looks exactly like Cro Mag Rally without GPU. CMR allows you to continue playing even after erasing graphics card drivers, which essentially forces CPU 3D rendering. CMR being made for G3 has zero knowledge of Altivec, it uses GPU and is still a fun game to play after scaling up the screen resolution to 1920x1200.

It is G3 emulation and Tiger and older are G3-friendly OSes.Why am I disabling Altivec (this is madness)? Because 'movie night' never looked this good!I can keep coming with more about the DVD Players.(and thank you Matyas for a few kind words).
