Never managed to get it to play on the LCD. I used: Libretto 110 (233MHz), Thinkpad 600E 2x DVD drive and external PCMCIA case (Portable Drive Bay).

That's not been done at this point, has it? I've been under the impression that even the 110's at 233MHz, or clocked to 266MHz, don't have the umph required for DVD playback... yes? 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. === __ Do you Yahoo!?

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!?

Works well for $70, available at Walmart, jandr.com, target, and other stores in the USA. Hey David, At first I missed you're putting Off-topic in the message subject field of this post, and thought somehow miraculously Philips had put together something that would play DVDs on our Librettos! That's not been done at this point, has it? I've been under the impression that even the 110's at 233MHz, or clocked to 266MHz, don't have the umph required for DVD playback... yes?
