Nope, i thought of this as well, would be neat to have a Mini DVD Player.

1.4GB limit, so the movies would have to be transcoded and crunched to meet this size..
only panasonic Q can read the real full size DVD movies..

Have done it many times, Quality Reduction is hardly noticeable on CRT TV's.

Double Layer Mini DVD's hold 2.6GB so quality reduction wouldn't be as much.

where do i find this MFE ? i searched and seems like it no longer exists.

I'm pretty sure GC can't handle dual layer, give it a go though.

MFE might be floating around on gc-linux.org

if MFE doesn't have a limit sure, otherwise you might need to compile it again, or mplayer-ce.

I wouldn't see why not. I haven't tried them before but the only difference is that they are double sided so they should. They do cost more and you can't label them so I'd suggest the cheaper route.
