How to run a Tiger 10.4.11 virtual machine? I need to access some .omf files, which were originally created in an old version of AVID DV. As far as I know, this software only ran on Tiger PPC Macs. The PowerMac PPC G5 I originally used is on it's very last legs &amp; will not reliably start up. An AVID rep told me that these old files would not be accessible with a current version of AVID and I have discovered that these files cannot be accessed with Final Cut Pro. What is my best option for getting this software running so I can access these OMF files in an AVID DV timeline?

What I have to work with:


a white Intel Santa Rosa Macbook [3,1 - Build 9L31a] running Leopard
the original MacBook Leopard install discs
a variety of non-bootable disk image clones of a PPC G5 Tiger drive w/ AVID DV installed
the dongle required for AVID DV to run
the original G5 PPC Tiger install discs
the original AVID DV install discs
a Mountain Lion / Yosemite dual-boot Mac Mini
a 2TB blank external USB drive
a 1TB external Firewire drive that I can erase &amp; reformat if necessary
Parallels &amp; Fusion for Mt. Lion
You could try using the PearPC Emulator running on Linux or Win32 (Bootcamp?) to emulate a PPC and boot your drive images.
