Right, I havent tried this because of concerns about the screen size. But People do compress movies even more and watch them on PDAs even. I keep planning on trying it but never get around to it. I may give it a try as I am always trying to travel lighter and being able to perhaps watch a DVD is one of the things that often puts the notebook in my bag.
