I have some issues with Media Players and programs, they happen on Zephyroth's 10.5.1 RC2, 10.5.1 RC2 + Update and full 10.5.2 installation.
The Leopard DVD Player isn't accepting mounted Video DVD images. If it detecs one (even if it's later mounted) it simply quits. There are no error messages, Console only says 'Exited with Exit code 1'. The same is on FrontRow and on MediaCentral which is not from Apple, so it could be a global Problem. I can only watch DVD Images with VLC Player which brings its own codecs. It's also curious that FrontRow 1.3 isn't working on 10.5.1 RC2 and higher. It was working without problems on the 10.5.1 RC1 DVD after the usual patches. Now it hangs after you selected the Video option for the second time, later it shows 'an unexpected error occured'. But it doesn't crash. iMovie '08 isn't working too, it quits unexceptedly (on 10.5.1). Toast 8.0x isn't working on RC2 too, Popcorn 3 should also not work. In some forums I read that there were problems with Perian or an Xvid codec but it was not possible get it working, even after removing ALL Quicktime components + reboot. These are all programs which have to do with media and Quicktime components. Does I have to fix something in my system? I'm using Quicktime 7.4 / iTunes 7.6 on 10.5.1 and 7.4.1 / 7.6.1 on 10.5.2. They are unpatched, either the versions from the DVD or from Apple Software Update. I want to use Final Cut, but if it is a global problem with system / quicktime media components then this would be bad. Other things: For users of the wave editor Amadeus Pro: Versions before 1.2 won't run on Leopard. But the trick is easy: Download the trial (1.2.1 is actual) and start it. After this the old 1.x ones will work again. It's a great program for wave editing, test it. Users which have problems with Quark XPress 7 should start the 'Quark XPress Components' Installer in the 'For System' folder. This should make it work again. They are some 7.3 versions in the net. iWork '08, iLife '08 (except iMovie), MS Office 2008 (it's crap), Adobe CS3 Design Suite and so on are working without problems. 2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.

Are you running this on a SSE2 processor? If so I had these problems until I upgraded to an X2.

No my CPUs are all SSE3. What about Marvin's Utility, I didn't get the idea of it either. It is made to patch files for AMD cpus, sure, but how does it work and what do I need? A cpuid file? Until I don't know what it does and what additional files I need I'm not using it.

Yes, that do I know :P
I actually tested it with Toast and iMovie using 'Patch all binaries' and it always stops with the error 'Unable to determine encrypted files to patch'. 2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.

don΄t use the 4 option if you are in your working leo, (if you have another leo/tiger install you can use this option and patch all the leopard disk), select the second option, move the patch folder to the root and boot with -s and type
mount -uw / cd /patches replace.sh (if the program found decrypts) patcher cpuid.txt (for cpuids)

Did this work?
Just when I thought everything was ok...I installed Toast :/ How come this patching is not needed in Tiger? Seems quite strange.. Also, wouldn't it be possible to make some kind of AMDInject to fool all these CPUID apps?

I will try this myself when I get home..
Tried it last night but I didn't patch the binarys at startup... I find it really wierd that I didn't have to do any of this to run an application (except with Parallels) in Tiger. Maybe it is some other file I need to patch in my leo install. Maybe the graphics update kexts and framework?
