That's about the only circumstance in which any of these portable media players would do me much good since I don't fly very often at all.  I COULD, however, use a device about that size with decent speakers made for the car.  Right now none of the car or car/portable hybrid solutions seem to fit my needs.  They're either too complicated to deal with while driving, don't support the things I want them to support (audiobooks AND music... iPod comes close with a good amount of work on the users part in preparing the files... but the interface is absolutely not for while-driving use), or are just too damn small.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[otakucode]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's DVD-LX95]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</guid><description><![CDATA[http://www.deal7.com/cgi-bin/forward.pl?ID=EEEuyyFVAEybkFQqjW&Forward=http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?DPNo=545010&Merchant=eCost<br><br>$99 portable DVD player]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gadgetman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's DVD-LX95]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</guid><description><![CDATA[MPEG-4 support in these things is really overrated... people naturally assume "it's MPEG-4, it must be like, two better than MPEG-2!"  But it's really pretty much the same thing, just optimized for low bit-rate web streaming.  The higher quality compression levels are not really any better; it was not created for better compression, it was created as an alternative to MPEG-2 for web use.  In tightly controlled encodes at higher bit rates, MPEG-2 can actually give you better results.  It's just lacking a lot of features MPEG-4 has that make it less suitable for downloading and streaming (MPEG-4 has "interactive" features, for example).<br><br>In other words, it's a good feature to have in a player if you've downloaded a lot of MPEG-4 files and want a player to play them, but it's useless otherwise... it's not like you're generally going to get better quality or smaller file sizes if you start encoding stuff to MPEG-4 yourself.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's DVD-LX95]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</guid><description><![CDATA[Or you could just pay $760 and get a laptop with a DVD drive and 10.4" display that will play whatever you want.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frangible]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's DVD-LX95]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</guid><description><![CDATA[What laptop is that, frangible?

If MPEG4 is just a streaming media codec desigined for the internet, then why are DirecTV, HD-DVD, BluRay, etc all using MPEG4 for High Def content? MPEG4 H.264 (not so much H.263) has been designed to scale all the way down to streaming video on a cell phone and all they way up to providing high def content. This Panasonic player is most likely an H.263 device made to play DivX/XviD content. H.263 does have some issues with high motion content, but is a decent video codec. But please understand that MPEG4 is not JUST for streaming media.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cameron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's DVD-LX95]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</guid><description><![CDATA[They say Mpeg-4, but they don't say Divx, Xvid, and any ACTUAL codex. As us PSP owners are WELL aware, being able to play Mpeg-4 video is kinda of a blessing and a curse, since you have to re-transcode all of your video to some new format that nobody uses, like 3G video. And tools for handling that are rare.<br><br>If you want to cover some *REAL* news, why not look into the Shinco SDP1720A. It's a $300 7" DVD player that REALLY supports Divx. Shinco has a whole series of Divx/Xvid compatible Portable DVD players. You should *REALLY* check them out!<br><br><br>This is the only English site that sells the Shinco, at least that I know of. You can also find them on Ebay for less then $300.<br><br>http://www.allcam.biz/products/sdp-1720.html]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MaxSMoke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's DVD-LX95]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/29/panasonics-dvd-lx95/</guid><description><![CDATA[The device really has TV to tuner?
