A few more discoveries today.
If you are playing a movie on batteries only, you may find that you have no
audio.
I discovered that if you adjust the Libretto power setting (hairy light
bulb) to full power mode, the audio is restored!
That means inorder to conserve battery life, you have to turn down the
screen brightness on the full power mode settings page. You can also turn
down the CPU speed also to conserve battery life. Only on the lowest CPU
speed does the video start to be choppy (unclocked 166Mhz machine).
Its a shame that you do not have audio on the 'user' power setting, this
would be great for a custom profile just for video playback. If anyone
finds
a 'get around' for this audio issue on full power mode only let me know...
Thanks for the tip on getting VOB files to play with full DVD-To-Go controls
Michael. I set up Daemon Tools and was off and flying. Now I'm thinking of
running a few tests at setting DVD Shrink to higher coompression to see how
small I can make the resulting ISO file set, and still get better output
video resolution than that of the MPEG-1 files's I've been ripping my DVDs
to.
I'm a little surprised that you didn't seem to be able to create a custom
power setting that allowed for audio playback. I'd have thought that would
be a piece of cake. I'll have a look a my setup.
How long have you been able to get your Libby to play DVD video on batteries
Michael? I'll be interested to hear back from David Chien on whether or not
he's going to try that battery pack rebuilding service.
Matt
