Here's an update on my progress. The card works perfectly in W98SE/Directx
9.0c on my 110 by just installing the Margi software/driver previously
referenced, and doing nothing else.
The problem I was having playing a small test clip turned out to be the
fault of VideoReDo when it created the clip. The resulting test video
didn't have the infomation in it that let's the Margi card know it's the
type if file it's been programmed to recognize.
I can copy any DVD VOB file to the 110's HDD, and it will play fine.
The only problem is that the DVD-To-Go player doesn't have a slider to allow
pausing and specifying where in the VOB you want to start play again. If
for some reason you stop play, you have to wait until the video reaches the
point in the file where you left off. You can pause video play, and resume
with no problems.
I'm thinking of looking into two things:
1. Whether or not DVD-To-Go will only play traditional 1,073,481,728 byte
VOBs and nothing else. 2. How to make my own MPEG-2 encoded files that
DVD-To-Go . GSpot reports the standard DVD VOB file as using the
MPEG2_Video codec, and TMPGEnc seems t only want to use MPEG2_payload.
3. If I can't get DVD-To-Go to start at a specific play time, can I split a
VOB into a number of smaller ones. That'd depend on the answer to my
question #1.
