My Friend Has a Very Cool Toy

[neadods]

So, someone who shall remain nameless because I don't know if she wants her name on this post, came over yesterday for general Whovian squeeing and to show of her nifty, nifty new toy: the Mustek MP100 portable DVD player.

The portable DVD player with enough battery juice to get through even a Bollywood movie.

Which plays .avi files. Even if burned on CD instead of DVD.

And has RCA output jacks so we could watch .avi files on the TV instead of clustering around the computer screen. (See icon. See three people squeeing madly over woman in icon kicking all kinds of booty.)

Oh, and after a little googling, proves to have a very simple hack.

Waaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnt!

well, I bought an RGB extension cable to hook the computer up to the TV (which has said input; i could have also used an RGB to S3 conversion cable).

but when rendering the computer input into the TV it only gets me "normal" and "wide", so i end up with black bars across the sides as well as the top and bottom. clarity is beautiful, but i just wish i could see the whole screen.

actually, I *really* wish it was easier and not so time-consuming to convert the divx avis to dvd-vobs to be able to archive them and share them with mom, yada yada...

And now there's this "pando" in the mix, just to make things even more complicated.
