I like the "nice and simple" part! This looks like a nice thing to do
although perhaps entirely too time-consuming, but if it could be automated
on an overnight task, maybe worth doing. If I had a big enough HDD to keep a
movie or 2 on the Libretto, it could be great for plane rides and lonely
hotel evenings.
But, I thought "DIVX" was a dead marketing format? EXPLAIN:
