AFAIK the RX-51 doesn't have a native HDMI output, could it use some kind of adapter?

If the RX-51 provides composite only, then interlaced SD video will be the limit. Your only HDMI adapter will be a bulky, and rather expensive, scaler.
If the RX-51 offers something better--component, RGB, Mini-DVI, Mini DisplayPort, Mini-HDMI, 3G-SDI--then you'll be able to explore the limits of the device's ability to push pixels to HD displays.

Another question is do you actually NEED hd playback, considering the screen resolution. I'm not ever sure about the convenience factor, as I learned via QTE that with transparent conversion you can reduce space requirements, increase copy speed and retain maximum (visible) quality at the same time.
Even though the device only has 800x480 - the attraction for me is to be able to copy over a video, without having to recode (as long as we stay in the 720p region).

Doing it fully transparently (as in, filesystem level) is also possible (at least on Linux, no idea about Win/MacOS), but that would require more effort/time.

For some more details, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=28212 (development got sidetracked with all the summer activities, but definitely not abandoned).

Here's a confirmation that Cortex A8 + PowerVR SGX can play 1080p stream with no problem:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/i...ideo-playback/
well ok, they show some glitchy videos there too, but I assume it's just codec incompatibilities. anyhoo, technically it's powerful enough decode and rescale the video stream on the fly.

On the other hand sachin, you shouldn't let being an apple hater cloud your judgement and senses. They've managed to play most 1080p trailers, but found 2 specific problematic files: the avatar trailer which shutdown the audio driver and a 720p file shot with their dslr. So in the video they only showed one sample of each.

@eldarmurtazin Can the RX-51 play all high bitrate videos without converting? Did you use a software to play other codecs?
@rajuvamsi007 yes, it can, but not sure whatwill be in the final version
Great.... no more video conversions

Guys, that's no moon... It's not playing back 1080p - it just manages to get out info from a 1080p stream. That's a huge difference. With enough hackery we could probably make even the N810 'play 1080p streams', but the video displayed would have nothing to do with HD resolutions or quality.
I'd imagine it should be designed to at least output 1080p.
