Eh? This wasn't your opinion a few short months ago...
You felt it was slightly better overall, & not just the brightness.
What's changed.....
But objectively speaking, SGS2 does have a visibly more crisp non-pentile matrix AMOLED and it's also quite a bit larger. It may not be as bright as the N9 display but after using N9 for a while, I would rather the non-pentile SGS2 screen at that size/resolution/dpi as N9 display just doesn't look as crisp on white texts etc. Maybe I'm just more sensitive/picky but it is visible. Heck, I see the negatives of pentile matrix even on the Galaxy Note with its higher DPI 1280x800 AMOLED display. (although, it is at a higher dpi/resolution which makes it much closer to being it a non-issue)

Thanks to jalyst and jakiman. I prefer Mediacoder more since it has support for embedded subtitles with many subtitle formats , it's quite fast with cuda enandcoding.
Any idea how pr1.2 will improve codec support?

Ah, I thought the N900 already had some DLNA support somewhere...
I don't see why it should be that hard to do, I thought DLNA is just a layer on top of a conventional file transfer protocol. Maybe I'm wrong?
I would think that any DLNA-capable TV is already quite able to do the rendering on its side, no need for the phone to process the data before sending it...

But I was speaking from the perspective of videos & most images.
It should be a non-issue there....

They'll eventually resolve it if there's a solution coming in 1.2 or 1.3.
Otherwise they'll slap a big fat WONTFIX on it...

It does not match the high-end power you'll find on the current iPhone

I registered minutes ago just to post about the codec potential.
I happened to visit http://www.ittiam.com/en/Embedded/Pl...0p-Bundle.aspx (via google search) which states the following:
So, this is a software issue anyway and can be resolved given enough dev resource.
I happened to visit http://www.ittiam.com/en/Embedded/Pl...0p-Bundle.aspx (via google search) which states the following:
Ittiam's multicore implementation of 720p video codecs on OMAP3 includes a highly optimized IVA only component. The IVA only components are capable of:
- MPEG-4 SP decode at 720p
- H.264 BP decode at 720p
Supported by an additional NEON assisted ARM Cortex A8 component, the resultant multicore codecs allow for enhanced video decode and encode performance beyond what can be achieved on the IVA subsystem alone. Examples of codec performance enabled by the multicore architecture include:
- H.264 Main Profile (MP) and High Profile (HP) decoding at 720p, up to 30fps
- H.264 Base Profile (BP) encoding at 720p, up to 30fps
- MPEG-4 Simple Profile (SP) encoding at 720p, up to 30fps

I have used mainly "Freemake Video Converter" and "Any Video Converter", but I think "Mediacoder" is just OK too ...
I have many movies too (unconverted ones) on my N9. All movies works great when MPEG4 video codec is used (it does not matter what file type (folder); mp4, avi, mkv ... and these movies look really great on N9 display ...
