You mean an iBook, but what OS version is installed on it?

Thks for prompt reply, i am currently using Panther. Pls advice.

VLC says it should work with Panther, did you accidentally download the intel version instead of the one that works with PPC?

Between Flip4Mac and Quicktime, I don't need another player.

Pls also do advice how i may reformat it w/o the install disc.

it would require booting to an 2nd bootable volume (an external hard drive, or another OS like ubuntu)

but if you dont have an install disk, then you wont have an OS at all...

Ok, will try some of the suggestions here. Many thks to all for helping.

VLC is like the ultimate player
