Running Mac Beautiful on Tiger is worlds better than running it in Safari.
That’s going to make things a lot easier on older hardware, as it won’t be handling the download and displaying the video at the same time. Miro has to download the entire video before you can watch it.
I immediately noticed a big difference between Miro and using a browser to view YouTube: The browser works in real time and lets you watch a streamed video. I’ve just downloaded Miro to my production machine and the Blue & White G3 next to me. If the video you want to watch is long, like an video that’s an hour long, it takes a few minutes before the video is smooth, perhaps because it’s loading it up, but then otherwise it’s smooth even on a 700 MHz G3 iBook, full screen. I think the program loads up the whole video and then its own video algorithm is more efficient than Adobe Flash’s. It does a better job with the videos than watching it on a browser, and you can search for videos on YouTube and Google Video on it. I read your discussion on watching YouTube videos on older Macs.
