How to encode/convert movies & videos perfectly for the HP Touchpad (and other tablets)
I felt this may be information important enough to share in one of my blog posts. I just got a HP Touchpad last week with the recent "fire sale" and so did thousands of other people (they sold out almost instantly and nearly crashed ebay) one of my #1 goals for uses of my touchpad is a great portable media device. I want movies on here so that I can entertain the kids at a restaurant while waiting for the food ,or to kill time while waiting at an airport are just a few examples.
The thing is the HP touchpad has a pretty (very) limited support for the type of movie it will play. It takes some serious geek knowledge to get it right and so today I share some of that know how with you since I was unable to find any suitable tutorial online on how to convert your movies for proper playback on this device.
X3: Albion Prelude (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K]
X3: Albion Prelude is an stand alone add-on for Terran Conflict, and is designed to explain the changes in the X-Universe between X3:TC and X-Rebirth when it comes out next year, the game uses the same engine as Terran Conflict, so its horizontal plus with correctly scaled HUD but the interface does span all 3 screens. Once again if your monitors width is larger than 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.

FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction
Guess what, this game has very little in common with the ones it wants to pass as a sequel of.
Chaos & Destruction is an arcadey racing game with minimalistic physics and where nitrous is not only used to overtake and ram opponents, it also heals your car. Tapping the additional invulnerability reserve will also prove useful to survive close encounters at 200 mph. The game features numerous vehicle classes, environments and game modes including silly "ragdoll olympics"-style challenges and 16-player MP.

Trine 2 (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K] Video
Trine 2 is a puzzle platformer that can be played in Co-Op for up to 3 people, the game does render correctly to horizontal plus but unfortunately the menu, HUD and cutscreens are all stretched. I have an extended version but that won't be ready till tomorrow. Once again if your monitors width is larger than 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.
