[ydl-gen] YDL 6 on a ibook G4 800 Mhz

[Warren Nagourney]

Thanks, Derick. I didn't see anything about video acceleration. It  
said that there are "no outstanding issues"; this means that video  
works, but is not necessarily accelerated. From my earlier posts over  
the last two years (first about my PB 17 and later about my PS3), you  
might have concluded that I am allergic to slow and "choppy" video.

cheers,

Warren Nagourney
