Still, I plan to do my next conversion on the LC itself. I think the reason why the Cinepak conversion didn't finish was because I didn't have Virtual Memory turned on. Silly me. :I
Ah, yes. You will definitely need a *ton* of memory to do the conversion, so VM has to be enabled if the LC is to have any hope of doing the job.
When you did the conversion on the G4, what codec did you use? Still Cinepak?
For fun, I encoded Galaxy Quest completely in 10fps MJPEG at Medium quality, just to see what would happen. With an MP2 soundtrack, the whole thing fits in 780MB, and is amazingly watchable. Starting from an XVCD that I had created from the original DVD, the entire conversion took 4-5 hours on a 300MHz G3 beige tower. That was a lot faster than I'd expected.
I may try Cinepak again, although I only have patience enough to do a part of the movie. I'm curious to see if an LCIII can play it, even if only at 160x120 frame size. I'll have to do something awful to the audio track, too, to make it playable as well. Maybe 8-bit 22kHz mono...
