Battery Life

Hi All,



Just about to go on a long journey, so putting movies on my macbook ready.



I want to squeeze as long as possible out of the battery, so I do the obvious, disable wireless, bluetooth, display brightness as low as possible etc. but just wondering if putting MP4 / DIVX movies on a memory stick and playing from there would help battery life?



I was thinking that this way the hard drive would not have to spin continuously, or does the whole film get loaded into RAM, or will powering the USB stick outweigh any benefits etc.



Anyone any ideas???
