I am not dreaming, I just wanted to know what would be needed... someone
posted that using ffmeg he could make direct encoding, but at a lower
resolution... I don't know what hardware he has...

Well, that's already quiete impressive, just think if your P3 would be
2000, you got about 28, and a P4 even more...

Well, on my P3@450 using xmga extension of my G400 it took my about 40%
of CPU to watch a DVD... but without xmga, should need more CPU, would
be nice if one could use such extension for mencoder under linux ;-))

Regarding what you could do with your P3@933, that's should be enough???

Thanks for your answer, I think up to now, for me the best solution is
to backup movies on multi-CD-R, in VDR format, CD-R are so cheap...
