Of course, it doesn't stop working the day we release VLC 2.1 with support for new technologies which won't be available on 6 year old devices.

Yes, on the early G4s. I'll further investigate during this summer.

It's probably:
a) some ffmpeg-mt compatibility issue.
b) weird stuff going on in the vout (unavailable shaders).
