I tried downgrading but a sampling of some of these sites required Flashplayer 10 or they would not run at all. I was wondering if adding more Ram 1G would make a difference. I can't imagine how the internet experience would be with the new IPAD without flash. So many video sites run on Flash. I see that youtube is running an experimental html5 site you can try. http://www.youtube.com/html5 For me it did not make a difference. Video was still very choppy. I have had my powerbook broken and in the closet for some time and recently decided to resurrect it by replacing the burnt out hard drive. I cannot remember how the video was on it as I have not used it in about 2 years. Clearly video quality online has improved significantly and I am guessing this hardware just isn't up to snuff anymore. I am currently running with a dead battery, plugged in to the power adapter, would that make any performance difference? Anyone have a similar powerbook. How is your video experience. Any suggested video sources. I am not sure if adding Ram will even make a noticeable difference. Still good for non video usage. Any thoughts would be appreciated. (good or bad news is fine) THANKS It seems that most of the video players using flash just don’t seem to work very well on my 12 inch G4 powerbook 867Mhz running 640K RAM.

I am not very mac savvy and could not install Version 9 from the zip. Also hulu states that flash 10* is required. My video (and audio after awhile) stutters and drops frames with the latest flash version. Is my 1.5 PPC G4 1.25G Ram just too old to stream these videos? any help is appreciated. thanks, Alice Hi, I tried to do this on a powerbook OS X 10.4.8.

I have tried Ian's advice and downloaded the slew of version 9's and used flashplayer9r260_ub_mac.dmg from the 9r260 in the fp9_archive after un-installing, repairing permissions e.t.c but have had no improvement. Has anyone using Power PC had any luck getting iPlayer to work or is there a particular version of 9 I should be using ? I would really appreciate any pointers, Thanks Camperman Hi
