x50v battery when watching vids (from experience)

[zilla31]

ok been having a lot of fun backing up my DVDs (and some TV progs) to my x50v for use when on business travel... have a question though before i go out into the world and actually test it (this upcoming weekend):

how good is the x50v battery when watching movies? i mean if i'm on a plane - can i expect to get through an entire 2 hour movie w/o a power source?

THANKS!

Two hours on the standard battery isn't at all unreasonable. Some people have gotten three. I advise that you use BetaPlayer, clock the processor down to 208 MHz, and let the 2700G video decoder do all the heavy lifting.

AD - do i need xcpuscalar or something to bring it down to 208 or is there some built in way w/o installing another app?

ps thanks.

You can crank it down to 208 with the built in processor speed applet. If you want to play with a clock speed program like XCPUScalar, you could crank it down even lower to 104 or something, but I don't think it's neccessary.

oh sweet - never had an occasion to play w/ that applet (even forgot it was there) before now. thanks for the advice.
