As someone said I think here and in the big 1.1 feedback thread mentioned about having to use the file manager to launch videos, that seems to be the problem here. Now watching Rambo 2.
Try that out and see if it works, you may have to restart your device if you've already gone in the media player to try and play the movie. I'm going back to sleep
I'll check bugzilla later and make sure this has been reported, I've got another bug with ID tags to report too.

I put a bunch more movies on my device to test out subtitles. Getting super flaky playback of what I think are mostly h264 videos, some in avi containers as well. Some won't play, some required a reboot to play, one that played flaky in week 42 firmware won't play at all now. I'm gonna try and get a couple more hours sleep but I'll post up codec info later. There definitely seem to be video playback problems.
EDIT: I'd also suggest renaming this thread to something that doesn't sound like a whining thread. "Video playback problems in PR1.1" or something like that.

EDIT: oh you meant starman, lol. I think he does, it's his m4v playback issue I was trying to replicate. Your workaround did the trick.

If you post your exact handbrake preset (I think you can export a preset) I'll rip a dvd later and try that file out.
At least it seems to be a bug with the player rather than an unsupported format. Hopefully it'll get fixed, we just need to get it in the bug tracker.

ill try and upload a movie trailer or something later on tonight to my mobileme account, in terms of legality, can I do that?? Rip a DVD to get a movie trailer, encode it and upload it???
Just to be on the right side of the law lol
