Till now the status (with DSP patch and 720p playback) is:

- DSP kernel patch breaks MP4 playback with stock userland libraries, H264 is working. In order to have all stuff working lots of usermode components need to be changed(dsp codecs, gst-dsp, ti-omx, omapfb, maybe mediaplayer)

- 720p playback needs 900 MHz CPU overclock, 530 MHZ DSP overclock, DSP shared memory increased from 4 MB to 5 MB, video memory increased from 4 MB to 8 MB. Only MP4, no H264. And DSP codec used is from Samsung i8910 Omnia HD, no legal way to get it. TBH the only file I have to test with is 720p video shot with some Android phone, so have no idea which profiles are supported and what the performance is.

- 720p videos played on TV - well, that could be the point I will give up. OMAP3 DSS is just not capable to downsample 1280x720 to either PAL or NTSC resolution. I was able to get picture on my TV by using PowerVR scaler, which outputs video to graphics plane, not to overlay. Result is that it overwrites buttons in media player .

What's next? Well it is summer time here , so maybe I will rest for a while. After that I have to make a choice - whether to continue playing with DSP first or to try to make portrait home for CSSU first. Anyway at some point of time DSP project will be resumed. The best thing that could happen is if Felipe Contreras gives a hand on it. When I return to DSP I will contact him and try to convince him to give some help.

In between if someone wants to continue work on it , just ask, I will give all of the source code needed.
oh please, oh please... work on portrait homescreen!
