I've got a Libretto 110CT, 233Mhz Pentium MMX, modded 96MB RAM, 2MB GPU. This thing is easily capable of playing back outdated video formats, and I'd like to convert some videos to play on it. This is challenging, however, as they would need to be transcoded from modern formats. Since old software can't read the new formats, and new software can't write most of the old formats, that leaves an odd problem. I was thinking my best bet would be to totally decompress everything using modern software (like Premiere) to MPEG-1 video and WAV audio, and then re-encode on an older machine using an appropriately old copy of Premiere. This would be a "process", so if anyone has any more direct methods or input, I'd appreciate it.
Due to the age of the target machine(s), while I can run VLC on the 9x ones, they can't handle the dynamic decompression of newer formats at a usable speed. I also would like to be able to play my "new" videos under Win3x (same or better hardware configurations), meaning old WMP, RealPlayer, XingMPEG, and some other choices.
Thanks.
