The dongle.bin should be dated 10/02/2004 (all the beta's I've found so far
have the same dongle.bin)
In theory the filesize limit is 4gb (size represented by 4 x 8bits), though
I don't have anything anywhere near as large as even 2gb to test what might
be the problem. If I can create something that big I'll look into it. How
can I, easily, create an mpeg from a dvd?

Interesting idea, hadn't thought of that one. Will add support for cover
art
to the 'to do' list.

Not sure what context youre mentioning 'pink fonts' in? You can change the
fonts to any RGB colour.
I've noticed my TFT TV has a redish tinge on pictures/movies containing a
lot of red, but havne't checked if it's the TV or MVP (I'm using composite,
rather than scart on this TV, for convenience).
Development will be a bit slow (probably non-existant to be honest) for the
next few weeks as I'm fitting a new kitchen and finishing decorating the
back bedroom (which I started 5 years ago!).
Regards
Tony
