Title: What drains the Sansa e280's battery more, mpg playback in Rockbox or mov in OF?

I love the mpeg playback feature of Rockbox! You can really compress some video files to 1/3 the size of the mov files created by the Sansa media convertor. My question is which player would drain the battery more quickly, a large mov file played with the Sansa's original firmware, or the smaller mpeg file played with the Rockbox mpeg player? Thanks.

This seems like the type of thing that you could bench test fairly easily yourself.
