I'm getting a Kindle Fire in a few days. While I didn't get it |
2 |
specifically to watch movies looking at the specs it does apparently |
3 |
handle mp4 as a video format and they state online that you can watch |
4 |
streaming movies & TV shows from Amazon's servers. I do a lot of blood |
5 |
donations - roughly 20-25 times/year - that take 2-3 hours each so |
6 |
either being able to read or watch a movie would be a pleasant way to |
7 |
pass the time. Being able to hold it comfortably in one hand is |
8 |
important to me. |

I started looking around in Google for something to encode a few DVDs |
11 |
so that I could see how well it works. A program called handbrake was |
12 |
showing up in a lot of links, but it requires an overlay. While I have |
13 |
no problem adding yet another overlay (which on is best?) I wondered |
14 |
what might be in the normal portage database that others here use for |
15 |
this purpose? |

Thanks, |
