Sadly, not even a 266Mhz L110 will play a DVD directly from the disc under the various software players such as WinDVD in real-time. All will skip frames and will do under 15 frames per second. Here, some have looked into those MPEG-2 Zoomed Video (ZV) accelerator cards from Margi, but I don't recall anyone saying one way or the other that you can definitely achieve DVD playback on the Libretto w/o skipping and such. > I've gotten highly compressed MPEG videos (I think just MPEG-1) to play on > my 70CT, and maybe on the 50CT, but my memory of the 50CT performance there > is fuzzy. I was able to do VCD quality full screen just okay on my overclocked L50 years ago, but I think at a reduced color depth. The L110 seems fine with this, and with lower bitrate DIVX files -- it may still be skipping frames, but you certainly don't notice it while the videos playback. > What sorts of things are available on the net in the DIVX/MPEG-4 format that > are worth transferring to a home multimedia playback system? every movie on the planet - usual talked about sharing sources have them. Otherwise, you can convert anything you have with Dr.Divx, Quicktime, etc. into this format for playback. more stuff at divx.com ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
