Registry hack turns XP Pro into server

NVIDIA Geforce 4 SPARKLE TI4600 & MSI G4 Ti4400-VTD

I have been goofing around with Divx5 lately. I am trying to see how small I can get movies so
I can use them with my handheld and pocket divx. I am crunching the movies to 288-192 and
sometimes cropping them to 224-182. The bit rate is around 112-116Kbps and the audio
32khz at 24kbp/sec. That makes the movies around 112-120 megs. I have no idea sinc I don't
yet have my handheld how watchable the movies are, but I am very curious. Nothing like taking
a handheld with a couple full length movies on it to pass the time.

Q-bert has all Divx/DVD software I could ever need.
I mainly use Smart Ripper 2.40 and FlaskMpeg, although I just tried CladDVD XP 1.3 which
did a great job. I also use Virtualdub to do the final Divx5 file.
