Hey August!

 AA> Yes.. testing it on a widescreen laptop, the result DOES look
 AA> pretty good.

From what I saw on a 24" widescreen monitor I wouldn't be surprised.

 AA> Streaming directly from the link sucked for me too.

You need a better connection for that, especially for x264 live streams.  Perhaps 720p might work best for this idea and/or a mpeg2 instead.  Given that usb 2.0 was good enough for streaming DVDs then mpeg2 on that particular connection might be just what the doctor ordered.

 AA> A down-conversion for this kind of stuff is probably a good idea.

That can be done on-the-fly these days.  Definetly something to inquire about.

Life is good,
Maurice
