Hi,
Yes, the latest 0.9.12 xine version can play some but not all QuickTime
movies. For instance, it can play the Phantom Menace trailer just fine:
http://starwars.apple.com/ep1/menace_480.mov
This uses the Sorenson SVQ1 video codec and ima4 audio codec. However,
the newer Sorenson SVQ3 codec and certain other proprietary audio codecs
are not supported. I also saw that Apple's QuickTime 6 appears to use
MPEG-4 which xine should also be able to handle hopefully.
The 0.9.12 version of xine requires a couple of patches to run on PPC.
I'm attaching a message I sent to xine-user that describes the patches
needed to fix xine segfaulting on PPC.
You may also encounter audio problems due to some optimizations that
were added for the G3. If this happens to you, make sure that the entry
for misc.memcpy_method in the .xine/config file is not set to
ppcasm_cacheable_memcpy, but is instead set to glibc or ppcasm_memcpy.

Hi Dave,
This patch from Daniel Caujolle-Bert that's now in CVS fixed it for me:

I also applied this patch (I forget now who made it) that's also in CVS
that may also be necessary to apply:

I applied the second patch above first, but it was applying the first
patch that banished the segfaults on PPC for me.
