You need to switch the boot device to the .vdi file and switch the CD/DVD device to empty.

If your signature happends to be the rig where u want to install Snow Leopard, then you cant go Vanilla as AMD platforms are not yet officially supported. Also your graphics card might not work, check compatibility osX86 wiki

To install OSX on AMD platform you will have to use Legacy Kernel.
Try this link, might help you out.

@nvrmndryo

nice!

1. First upgrade to "10.5.8 combo update" download it from Apple.com ( this will break your OS X so be careful )

2. Forget vlc. ( you installed it huh ? from where ? It is only for INTEL based PC )

3. Download codecs and everything will play!!

Between, where is the screenshot /camera shot, would you mind sharing with us ?

You say you updated Qtime ? are you sure ? (It breaks the installation)

As I said earlier, VLC for mac is only for INTEL based Mac. Since you have installed Mac OS X on a AMD , VLC will not run properly. (in fact, it should have not installed, but don't know how you managed to instal it. )

Just dump VLC and use the default program to watch movies. You can use the default media centre -- Front Row to watch your movies.

It shouldn't really matter actually. Intel is using AMD's amd64 architecture in all of their processors. So, it will install.

It must be a case of VLC/OS X using some instruction sets which are not supported by your processor?

It matters,, because he is not on a real mac. Its a hackintosh!!

Also, any update to hackintosh breaks the installation if RESTART is required after any such software update.

Software updates which doesnot require a RESTART works fine though.

Besides, Front Row uses Qtime to play movies / etc. And I find it much better then using Qtime. (Very Easy to use. Just press Control + Esc keys to launch it.
Put all your movies in the Movies folder in your HOME directory.)

And to play all .mkv and other format files on your Mac just install the FREE Perian !!

Nope.. its not like that.. I installed Mac a long time ago & I managed to run all the apps on it.. even VMWare Fusion which will NOT install on AMD systems.. that's for sure.. Get MPlayer for Mac if VLC is not working..

1. Lion is not available as a standalone version (DVD).

2. It is only available as a UPGRADE version which you can pay and download from support.apple.com

3. The paid version which you download can be installed on a Hackintosh Snow Leopard.

4. Don't know, if Apple will release the retail version of Lion or not. But I hope they will.

5. Minimum requirement to install Lion Upgrade is Snow Leopard.

6. Some magazine this month has a detailed article on installing Hackintosh Lion (I am still to grab the copy of this magazine )
