It supports H.264, WebM, and Theora video – all very nicely on my G5. Aurora is a Leopard-specific build of TenFourFox that is currently at version 20.0a2.Theora seems a bit smoother than WebM on the G5. TenFourFox provides WebM and Theora playback, but not H.264.Quality is good on the G5 and not bad on the G4. As with Tiger, only Theora displays video. Opera 10.6.3 is the most recent version for Leopard as well as Tiger on PowerPC Macs.Leopard runs a newer version of Safari, 5.0.6, which only supports H.264/MP4 video, not WebM or Theora.The converted file should appear shortly thereafter in your desired destination.Our advice to Tiger users: Use Safari for H.264 and TenFourFox for Theora and WebM.

See below the jump for the details.įortunately, VLC 2.0’s Streaming/ Exporting Wizard option was up to the task but it took some trial and error to export a file that Quicktime X was happy with. Could it export them too? It turned out that VLC could. At that point, I remembered that VLC could play XVid-encoded movies. Meanwhile, efforts to export it from Quicktime 7 were failing. While the codec was still working with Quicktime 7 on Lion, PowerPoint was tapping into Quicktime X, which refused to work with the codec. The Quicktime movie was using the Quicktime 7 XVid codec. On investigation, the problem looked clear. One of our users had a Quicktime movie file that was playing fine on his 10.4.11 Mac, but was not in the PowerPoint he was creating in his new MacBook Air running Lion. We received an unusual ticket this morning.
