vniow Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I'm curious how well hackintoshes handle the Quicktime HD gallery on Apple's site. The site says you need at least a G5 to do at least 720p so I was wondering how OSx86 manages HD. The recommendations are here and it just seems disporportionate the way it compares the two. If you could post specs like proccesor and whether your video card uses acceleration or not and how your computer handles each resolutiuon that would be helpful as well. Thanx, -Ani Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1893-video-test-for-native-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx, -Ani <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A G5 for 720?!?!? Gimme a break! I have a dual G4 533 and it plays the full-screen 720's at 24 fps! That seems pretty reasonable to me, don't you think!?!

antic Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I've just been on the quicktime web site gallery. Can't play anthything at 720p with a decent refresh rate. Loads of frame drops. Everything plays fine on 480p, though the activity monitor is showing 100% usage Intel 915gagl mobo Intel Celeron D 3.07 ghz 1gig ddr 120 Maxtor 6Y120M0 SATA Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1893-video-test-for-native-install/#findComment-12327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vniow Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 That's odd, you would think a 3Ghz processor (even a Celeron) could handle more than 480p but then again the Apple site says that a dual 2.8Ghz Xeon is required for 720p on the Windows Quicktime part of it, perhaps Quicktime is optimised for PPC better than x86, hmm...

Or maybe I was just caught up in being sarcastic! I don't know. But anyways, here's a 1080p QuickTime playing on my machine: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1893-video-test-for-native-install/#findComment-12456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: I kept trying to take the screenshot with 16FPS displayed, but it kept going back down as soon as I cmd-shift-3'd.
