I just want to report that I turned down the CPU to powersaving on my 51v, and I turned the brightness down too. I watched a 2 hour movie starting at 83% battery and ended with 65%. I think thats pretty good considering the movie was ripped of a dvd to a 600mb mpg with VGA size and 192kbs mp3 audio. The movie did studder a few times which is not surprizing when the CPU is that slow.

Movies rule. How did you encode it?

Yeah...back in March I watched three movies on my flight to and from Vegas. Since they dim the lights so well on the plane watching the movie was perfect. Made the flight go by very fast.

BTW. I use PocketDivxEncoder to convert my movies. Works perfectly. Of course you need your movies in Divx format first.....that's a whole other process in itself.

Important safety tip: Don't cross the streams.

Just curious Steve...

Are you still using FairUse for your encoding, or have you entirely switched to SPB DVD Converter?
