NBC Olympics...

How the hell do I watch the videos on a non-intel mac...

Quote:
Video is currently supported on the following browsers:

* Internet Explorer 6, 7 for Windows
(Vista, XP SP2 or greater and 2003)
* Firefox 1.5, 2, 3 for Windows
(Vista, XP SP2 or greater and 2003)
* Firefox 1.5, 2, 3 for Mac
(OS 10.4.8 or greater, Intel only)
* Safari 2 & 3 for Mac
(OS 10.4.8 or greater, Intel only)

There's gotta be a way...

I also have a non-intel mac, so I'll be using the following "hack" to watch videos:

1. Steal my brother's Macbook Pro
2. Watch fencing

What os do you have on the mac?

It says that Silverlight should work on Firefox/SeaMonkey/Mozilla and Safari with Mac OS 10.4/10.5 PowerPC.

There is something called Moonlight though... It's a 3rd party version of Silverlight that works on Linux... So... you could reinstall Linux through VirtualBox and use FF in Linux to watch it, but you probably won't

Simple solution: go to the library and hope they have a pc.

Complex solution: Run an emulator over your mac. Buy a $200+ vista installation (or buy an old xp, it'll be better). Then, spend 1 hr+ trying to install it.

Oh, I almost forgot... Extremely simple solution...: buy a pc...

anyways, back to the real topic...

Which version of OS X do you have? Click on the apple button on the top left corner and click on something that says system of some sort... that'll tell you...

then again, i hate macs, cant use them well, so if theres a mac expert round here, don't listen to me...

Well, can you run Windows on it? It would be wrong though for someone to go and download a torrent of windows 98 SE and run that over virtualbox... >_>

although i usually hate emulators, they're just another obstacle. i usually cant getum to work either... meh oh well!

i prefer to install linux straight by means of a .iso file, then burning onto a cd. (or in the case of open suse, a dvd)

I'm more familiar with VirtualBox. It's by Sun Microsystems and I know that it supports many operating systems.

On VB, once you have the Vdrive made, you can into the settings, on cd drive, and there's a place where you choose the .iso to mount. It runs that .iso as if it were a cd. Then you install, shut it down, and remove that .iso and it boots the virtual machine into the recently installed OS.
