What Is Your Battle Cry?

Just a single lemming for the moment. :)

Now then... I have a lovely G3 Mac sitting behind me, and it's crying for something to do. So I'm going to put this question out to my general readership (Rowan, Wibbble, you've already heard this one)...

What is the state of video ripping, editing, and encoding tools on the Mac? What's out there in the way of free/shareware, what're the limitations, and so forth. Also high on my priority list is to figure out how to make the silly thing talk to the XP and 98SE machines already on my lan, so I can see what its reaction to missing video codecs is.

Anyone got any hints/tips/tricks for me?

*exhales and peers at her empty water bottle* Time to swap for the one in the freezer. :p Anyway, I'm off fiddling with Diablo on the pc, and the nifty voice recognition software on the G3. 's fun. :)

There's various plugins for QuickTime that'll let you /play/ DivX (and the variations) movies.

QuickTime natively handles MPEG-4, since MPEG-4 is based on QuickTime. ;o)

Mencoder and ffmpeg have been ported to Mac OS X.

There's a couple of tools for ripping video from DVDs.

I have no idea how much these'll work on a G3 running 10.1, though.

The best site for searching for Mac stuff is http://www.versiontracker.com/ - if you go there on the Mac, it'll default to the Mac OS X search.

LOL!
