So I took the 6+ hours to do the conversion while putting the
movies on the Android tablet into a different folder. Then went
through every one of them, comparing them to the other set of 18
movies that were not converted. Seems that surprisingly
something positive was done to them. When playing them at double
speed, there is no stuttering/skipping in the converted videos.


.. so ... was it worth the 6+ hours then ?


I don't know. If it weren't for all four cores working at 70% for
that time, probably. It's nice to be able to do fast-forward on
the Android tablet correctly.

It might help VLC fast-forward and reverse them more smoothly in
Windows after the movies are moved back (after looking at just
one). If so, then probably.

I wonder why Microsoft doesn't provide that conversion for
windows. Or maybe it does, but I've never seen it offered.
