Hi thoughtfix

Yes I have the same problem.
The Video playback freezes after at least 10 minutes of playback. I have yet to play anything of at least 40 minutes duration without a single video freeze.
Sometimes it will unfreeze if I wait a minute or so. Other times I have to restart the N800 to be able to play any video content at all after a freeze.
I once found that the N800 was trying to establish a bluetooth connection to my mobile at the same time that a freeze occurred. Not sure if this is related.

The AVI's I have were sourced from some 1Gb+ AVI's that I downsized using MediaConverter 1.2 Beta(Running on Ubuntu) with the following settings,
- Medium Quality
- Optimize for full screen
- 2 passes
- Enhance Color
- Audio Gain

The AVI's are loaded on a 2G SD card located in the internal slot.
