I'm no coder/developer so I have no idea how easy/difficult this is to do.
Is the optimisations or utilising the dsp possible with mplayer on N900? Can someone here do such a thing?

You mean even HD files on the N900?
(or is this trancoding from a PC?)

My goal is not to transcode files up to 720p and play it directly on the N900.
(such as youtube 720p mp4 videos)
