HA! I took an episode of Family Guy, freshly re-coded it, and played it back on both side by side. The first thing I noticed was how much richer the color is on the N800. The second thing I noticed was the N800 halting video after only 3 minutes.

I noticed that my 770 was freshly flashed but my N800 had a few things running. I took a stab in the dark and was correct: After disabling the load applet, I was able to watch up to the 13th minute before it died.

I disconnected WiFi and closed my browser which had Gmail open, then opened the media player and started again. It started halting at the 3rd minute.

I recoded it using "Action movie" and turned off 2 passes. While doing so, my tablet up and rebooted. (why oh why is there no syslogd in there) Anyway, while doing so I searched bugzilla for any bugs in Media Player on the N800. I found none, so I started writing a new one while encoding finished. Once that was done, I started playing the video through. It halted at 10 minutes, but when I hi the "zoom" button, it started playing again. Still - it's a bug! I submitted it.

Here's the bug. Add any details if you can replicate it.
