    There is no technical reason for not being able to do it, at
    least for MoviX2 (which has an X display).

    However, the developers don't have access to Apple hardware
    so they can't do it themselves.
    For doing it, one needs to: find a CD-ROM compatible
    bootloader for Macintosh; compile Linux for that hardware;
    compile MPlayer for that hardware; possibly change PCisms
    (e.g. /dev/ide/hd etc.) in the supporting scripts etc.

    By the way, there is an MPlayer project for MacOS X:
    http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/

    It would be great for those on OS9. There is no divxplayer that is good in
    OS9.
