      As long as the video cards support a minimum of OpenGL 2, I would suggest that version 2 will extend performance.
      The simple matter of moving more of the work load to the graphics card will give you more development room within Isadora.

        Let me add that OpenGL 2 was released in 2004 -- so it's ten years old at this point. So, most recent cards should support it.

            Keep video files resonable size. Maybe run videos from an external USB 3 SSD when/if possible. Check codecs are right and that ISADORA is optimised as best as possible.

                I think I read that AVF arrived with 10.7 so does it make any sense to install the new version on my 2009 MBP running 10.6.8 ?

                  Yes, it makes sense. It is totally compatible with 10.6, which is now the minimum OS version you can use. You just won't be able to use the AVFoundation features (i.e., all video playback will be with QuickTime.)

                  But, if you purchase the upgrade, all of the new features except AVFoundation will be there for you to use.

                      Dear @maxiwille

                      Isadora 2.0 requires OpenGL 2.0, which was released in 2004\. Please make sure that the video drivers on your system all support OpenGL 2.0\. If they don't, please install upgrades to bring them up to OpenGL 2.0 and see if that solves the problem.

                        I found that i have 1.4 version of open gl. i went to de intel driver update utility but apparently is for windows Vista an so on. So i will need a way to get updated drivers for OpenGl for Windows XP

                          I have a 10 year old Dell Inspiron 9100 that I test Isadora on. Just so you know its possible.
                          Getting XP updates might be tough though.
                          What is the video card make/model ?

                            IMHO quickest way is to upgrade xp to w7 an 4 years old machine should easily run it pretty smooth.

                            I've tested Isadora 2.0 on a Athlon x64 (!) with 2 gb RAM and w7 and it can run a single .wmv at 25 fps

                              @Maximortal,

                              Athlon x64 + 2GB. Ha! Very brave! ;-)
