I have to admit that I'm really confused about the whole kbps thing. Different sources give me different numbers for -- seemingly -- identical files.

So here's the info Windows gave me on a movie:
Evil Dead 3 - Army of Darkness (what can I say, I love pulp)
624x368, audio: MP3, 160kbps, video: DivX, 23fps, data 127kbps, 24 bits (I have no idea what those last two numbers mean, but VirtualDub tells me the "data rate" of the file is 882kbps with 0.52% overhead, and those numbers appear to have absolutely nothing to do with the Windows numbers).

This movie plays flawlessly on my Pad3, no hicking, no jumping no desynching, just Bruce Campbell doing his stuff. May I add that the Pad3 has mplayer as its video player and runs an AMD Geode 800 MHz processor with 256 MB RAM, but it appears Hanbit went through the trouble of actually activating the graphics possibilities of their chip.

About all the bits thing: All my movies are encoded to a size of around 700 MB; this just felt like the best compromise between quality and storage space (meaning that my gellifying eyes can't see much difference between those DivX and Xvid files and the real DVD), so maybe I'm just lucky in that they play on the Pad. In any case, I no longer try to play these un-transcoded files on my Itablet, because it doesn't work. I might as well take a series of stills of the movie and run a slideshow (in fact, that might give even slightly bètter fps results).
