No, pixel doubling is done on the controller.

Trust me here, the LCD controller is the major bottleneck, not the CPU.

I have an older USB EyeTV I use on my Mac to record TV, which encodes to mpeg1, but 320x240 and at 1.5Mbps and they play quite well. The mp4/m4v files I use for the iPod seem to be a bit more stressful.

650 Mb for one hour of video in the higher rez mode.

That's VBR, too, I believe (EyeTV 200 and 500 over here).

I wish they would let you customize the automated output a little more finely. As MPEG4 also has AAC which wont be decoded by the DSP.

Even if the video bandwith is a limitating factor it is possibel to watch video in fairly good quality on n770/n800/n810. The video properties are a more complex problem. For instance, XVid encoded material does not run smoothly for certain constellations with B-Frames. I found this after a lot of experiments: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...8&postcount=13
