An equalizer may be a good idea if this is not an off topic

With mplayer and extra codecs installed, i tried a little experiment:
WMV 720p - plays, sound is great, video is pretty slow
MOV 720p - nope
AVI 720p - plays first seconds, then stops
MP4 720p - plays, sound is great, video is pretty slow
MP4 1080p - plays first seconds, then stops
MKV 720x576, Dual Audio, 3 Subtitles - plays, sound is great, video is pretty slow
I think the N900 is capable of playing 720p videos or mkv videos without bigger problems, but the software for it needs to be tweaked (since it's not officialy supported yet).

I strongly disagree with cashclientel. Even though N900 cannot display 720p and will have to downscale the video, it would be very beneficial to be able to play these videos. For me the difference of using a mobile device as a media player is whether there is a need of re-encoding or not. If the videos play as they are, the device will be used - otherwise not.

It's a miracle it actually can play most of the formats without the need for re-encoding out of the box. HD is just another ballgame.

I've been trying to download this from till the morning, everytime the download hangs on under a meg. Anyone know what's wrong, I really could use these codecs now. Edit: Other DLoads work.

or maye just reboot ...
it happens sometimes ...

You got exactly that problem - gst-video-thumbnailred locks video accelerator. Even video from backside camera is not played.
Temporary workaround: Install KMPlayer and use it. But before use just verify that gst-video-thumbnailred was not started by standard system media player - don't use a standard system media player. Or go to X-Term shell and execute a command
killall gst-video-thumbnailerd
It can temporary unlock your video accelerator.
