    I have the latest version of VLC media player, 0.7.2 on my Dual-USB,
500MHz G3 12" iBook, 640MB of RAM, 10Gb IDE Hard Drive, OS 10.3.4.

    I use it to view files sent to me by PC users that won't play in either
QuickTime or Windows Media Player for Mac.

    While VLC works, it produces a very tiny screen which, if you try to
drag the corner and make it larger, becomes so grainy that you return to the
default size.

    Have you found anything better than VLC???

    Thanks,
    bob
