I just used the prebuilt binaries, much easier than rolling your own.
On the snot front, it depends on what your video files are. A G4 450
hiccups on 720x576 MPEG2, and a G3 is missing the altivec stuff of
the G4, so I hope your files are lower res than that.
Has your celeron got a graphics card that works for XvMC?
