Re: Fw: OT: Grand Designs Episode 5 BitTorrent Release

[Ho Yin Ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah but the problem is .. is that my Pocket PC struggles to play divx.

So does my Mac.

Also I cannot convert to VCD and play on my DVD player.

I don't think it is easy to convert from divx to mpg ...

But a lot easier for people to convert from mpg into any format they want??

So I think mpg is easiest and the most basic format which allows people to
convert into whatever they please.

Please correct me if I am wrong .. thanks.
