I have several downloaded movies which are about 800kb/s which work great, but DVDs ripped down using myth to about 1500kb/s will not play reliably. They just miss loads of frames and skip all over the place on my N800 (os2008).
lol.. yeah, I realized that I was expecting a bit much from the n810 with 5000kb/s, but I've been experimenting and even with a 1000kb/s 320x240 mpeg2 it's not playing. I also tried an extremely small RTJpeg which should have the least cpu requirements and it's not working either :-(.

I'm going to try mpeg4 anyway, but I don't see it working. I'm not surprised that I need to do some porting of the XV code, but it would have been a nice surprise if it had worked off the bat!
