If bounty suceeds, then 10% isn't needed. If bounty fails, then surely they take 10% cut of total before refunding the rest? Or did I miss something?

Paypal transaction OK but error at the end and no add in the bounty page. Just by sending a mail to support@bountysource.com fixed that. Edit : I just see that your donation was received...

Not too shy to talk Joined: 11/29/2006 From: Comments: 260	Re: Problem with the paypal payment I also got an error message, i got it when the transaction was done and was about to return to the bounty page. I waited a few minutes but the money was still not visible at the bounty page and then i went to bed. Today the transaction was visible so if we're talking about the same error don't worry, just be patient and the money will be there.

I am asking because as Hans pointed out multiple times, there is no way for an AOneG4 nor a PegG4 to support a RadeonHD card on a PCI or AGP, and even if so, with degraded performance anyway.

Not too shy to talk Joined: 03/30/2007 From: Comments: 311	Re: AmigaOs4.1 Altivec Mplayer optimization @Lio The goal of the bounty is to add Altivec code into the ffmpeg H264 decoder. It is a PowerPC enhancement, not related to the Radeon driver. Any processor with Altivec (that is to say G4, G5, PA6T) will benefit this update. We just don't know what will be the benefit yet.

Quite a regular Joined: 06/01/2009 From: Germany Comments: 733	Bounty @zzdh10 to late. First I have to ask the programmer if he meant 805Euro +Vat. When we have collected to much money, we should think about it what we do with the money
