I went into offline mode and loaded the podcast with only mplayer running.

I'm also using mplayer to play all videos on the N810. It seems to work better compared to the built-in media player for some videos. It also supports more formats, I think.

I've noticed that the only thing mplayer can handle without using a video converting program is cartoons or anime.

If you get the chance to select the feed/quality of a Video Podcast, start out with the lowest quality one, and if you are unhappy with the quality, try to pick a better feed and see if the performance still is OK.

One feed that definitely works:

Some other video podcasts (Tech-related) can be found on:

For the Revision3 videocasts, select "Small Xvid", which works on the tablets with only minor hickups.

Maybe some other users can share their video podcasts that work fine on the N8x0 tablets? I'd be happy to compile an OPML file and publish it online, so that new users can subscribe to a sample list of video podcasts.
