|  uncompressing divx movies usually divx movies require more CPU power then a DVD movie (and deplete the battery life faster). this because the divx movie is compressed, and the decompressing while watching it takes more CPU power I'm buying a laptop. how should I "decompress" the movies while I'm on net power, making my battery last longer then? |

 | I think there will virtually be no gain as your harddisk has to read 5 times as much.

| http://www.sectie.be This is what you need. Great site! BTW, don't decompress a movie on a laptop.  It takes me 6 to 7 hours to convert a XviD NTSC to a PAL-DVD with subtitles! |

| rofl. Just play the movies as it is. There is no such thing as 'decompressing' a divx movie, the only thing that comes close is converting it to an uncompressed avi, but that would take enourmous amounts of space. I'm talking about hundreds of gigabytes.  |
