  You can specify the output screen dimensions - see  OUTPUT menu.  You 
can

easily dump out a file that has any resolution you'd like =) as long as the
codec you are using is game for it as well.  eg. Divx tends to like

Unless you've discovered some magic David, I'm not quite sure why you're 
bringing up the subject of DivX with respect to video on a 100/110.  All of 
my attempts at getting DivX files to play on a Libby have resulted in the 
old, slow CPUs just not heving enough power to display them.


DivX files seem to take more processing power to display than even MPEG-2 
files that the Libbys con't deal with.  That was why I followed you're tip a 
while back and got one of those Margi DVD-To-Go cards off EBay.  They are 
supposed to have a controller chip dedicated to that process.


The only type of video files I've ever gotten to display well on the Libbys 
(besides Quicktime .mov files I've never had any use for) have been basic 
MPEG-1 files.

I'll have a look.

Have you been successful yourself at transcoding widescreen 2:39:1 
anamorphic, letterboxed 720x480 video files to non-anamorphic, 
non-letterboxed video files that stretch to the full width of the 100/110's 
800 pixel screen using Windows Media Player v6 David?

Nice to know that 200GB 2.5" HDs are coming soon. I'm sure one of the other HD
makers will soon have PATA connector type models in this size soon.  

It's unknown at this time if >132GB HDs will work properly in the older
Librettos due to various BIOS/Hardware limitations even with a disk manager
installed.  The latest U100/U105 Libretto should have a good chance at being
fully compatible.
