I know the graphics card on NC10 is not for playing HD movie (1024p, especially). Are there any products out there available which provide hardware boots for playing HD movie (1080p), ideally with a USB interface?
Whats the point of trying to watch a 1920*1080 resolution video on a 1024*600 resolution screen?
I’ve got quite a large collection of 1080p and 720p films and tv episodes and have tried a couple of 720p items on the NC10 and found it to come out of sync so i really don’t think the graphics card is up the task. It is only a 10.2″ screened netbook and isn’t designed for it. I can understand that if you’ve got an existing library of videos that you’d like to watch but you may well have to think again i’m afraid.

[/quote1231912558]the point is that it takes a very goddamn long time to reencode these files so being able to play them on the machine without modification is both time saving and space saving in that you dont have to retain two levels of compression of the video.
I suppose a point is you could hook it up to a 1080p LCD via VGA. The NC10 will drive a 1920×1080 display just fine.
I have played 720p movie clips on my 1080p TV via the NC10 and they worked fine. Quite smooth in fact. Haven’t tried 1080p files yet.
It’s quite possible the NC10 makes a decent little media player for a TV. It’s extremely quiet and will play most formats without stuttering.
p.s. may depend on the codecs you have installed as to the performance, and the player you use. I’d avoid Windows Media Player, don’t install any bloat like Quicktime and Realplayer, and get hold of the K-Lite codec pack (and QT Lite for quicktime files) and play movies back using Media Player Classic (included in K-Lite).
Well, as the OP asked there is a problem – you can’t play full 1080p videos on the NC10 without compressing or re-encoding them to 720p. So, I think the answer to the OP’s question is: no.

Try codeAVC (only costs $12 i think, but you get 14 day trial to check it out ) only tried 720 but runs flawlessly – am very impressed, can’t see how you’d notice any better (watching it on the machine)
