To get an idea of what your Acer A100 (or any other 7″ Honeycomb Tablet) is actually capable of when it comes to video playback, have a look at these trailers.

Because we actually use an A100 ourselves, we created custom settings for the A100 that enables DVD Catalyst 4 to create video files that make full use of the screen area available for video. Similar as what we did for the 10″ tablets like the Xoom, the screen resolution of the Acer A100, 1024×600, can not be used fully for video due to a permanent menu bar of Android Honeycomb. Unless you use a conversion tool that actually takes this into account (currently only DVD Catalyst 4), you end up with black borders on the sides of your video.


One note beforehand. We have been providing access to converted versions of movie trailers for quite some time now. I do not have any issues regarding the sharing of these converted movie trailers, but unfortunately, we have noticed that some people use our work, and claim them as being their own. Because of this, we added a (very) small watermark at the bottom center of each of these videos.




As you can tell, when you actually watch it on your A100, it is barely noticeable.




For the conversion, I of course used DVD Catalyst 4, however, I did customize the settings a little.



For the normal quality settings, I just used the Acer > A100 HQXT profile:





Just selecting the profile using the dropdowns on the side is enough.


To make your videos full-screen (as these are):





* Tap on “Global Settings” on the top left.


* On the right, look for the “Borders” tab, and select it.


* Then enable the “completely remove from device” setting, the 4th one from the top.



And that is all. These changes will be remembered when you restart DVD Catalyst, and all your conversions from now on will be in full-screen.


Here are the trailers. Just visit this website on your Acer A100, and tap on the links for the trailers to have it stream them directly:

Synopsis


In the action-comedy 21 Jump Street, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier – and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.

Brave:

Synopsis


Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead an all-star cast in Tower Heist, a comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them. After the workers at a luxury Central Park condominium discover the penthouse billionaire has stolen their retirement, they plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to reclaim what he took from them. Queens native Josh Kovacs (Stiller) has managed one of the most luxurious and well-secured residences in New York City for more than a decade. Under his watchful eye, nothing goes undetected. In the swankiest unit atop Josh’s building, Wall Street titan Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) is under house arrest after being caught stealing two billion from his investors. The hardest hit among those he defrauded? The tower staffers whose pensions he was entrusted to manage. With only days before Arthur gets away with the perfect crime, Josh’s crew turns to petty crook Slide (Murphy) to plan the nearly impossible…to steal what they are sure is hidden in Arthur’s guarded condo. Though amateurs, these rookie thieves know the building better than anyone. Turns out they’ve been casing the place for years, they just didn’t know it.
