Heres a thread talking about general video playback and the video-out cable on our TPs
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46935 ... a few people posted different codecs and settings that they had good results with ...
Theres another thread I can't seem to find that claims these settings are best:
Video Format: MPEG-4 AVC
Resolution: 640x360 (maintains 16:9)
Video bitrate: 1000kbps
Frame rate: 29.97 (progressive)
Audio format: AAC
Audio bitrate: 96kpbs, 48kHz
It seems like DivX is a bad format for the TP ... people have had the best results playing MP4 video with WMP and the settings mentioned at that thread ...
Also keep in mind that if the display you are connecting to is non-HD or has a low contrast ratio you can probably get away with a much lower resolution video without noticing it much at all ...
In any event, good luck, I'm ordering my video-out cable this morning ... If you find a good solution please PM or post so I can use it too
