You may not need to bother with transcoding. I looked at this for my Asus Transformer and spent time with mencoder settings etc trying to get the right format for the Android supported video formats. Then I discovered Moboplayer in the android market, that uses software decoding to play just about anything, so I just rip the DVD titles as MPEG2, no transcoding needed at all. If the Fire's CPU can handle software decoding, this is a much simpler, and higher quality, solution. -- Neil Bothwick Q: Why do PCs - even modern ones - have reset buttons on the front?
