Canola can now play n770-encode.pl encoded xvid videos with the 'mplayer' quality setting mplayer => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 420, width => 400, height => 240, fps => 30 } without stuttering, tearing or any kind of jerkyness.

Seeking forward and backwards, toggling fullscreen, pausing, etc no longer causes second long hangs or dropping out of the movie player.

No more random stopping or loss of sych after 20 minutes either, just watched a full episode of 24 converted from DVD without a single hitch or hickup. Happy.

With the old firmware, that didn't work so well.
