I dont know if this would also aply to the N800, I have a Nokia 6131 cellphone that has a screen resolution of 320 x 240 and it plays videos of 174 x 144 (which is more than half the screen res) and the truth is that it plays like crap even at high bitrate it seems like pixelated, but the same videos on my motorola v551 which has a lower screen resolution plays fine without any pixelation or without being blurry. So I was thinking, the N800 has a screen res of 800 x 480, and plays videos of 400 x 240 (half the screen res), do they really play well?, does what I told about my phones has anything to do with this? (I mean if it would happen the same thing?).

Try this for 320x240 videos, it is compiled with mencoder with an easy to use GUI. Works well for phones.

I've had my N800 for one day, and I LOVE it. Today, I've watched Superbad and Juno without reencoding them from the original downloads ... and it was great!
Juno was 592x320 DIVX, 23.976fps, 866kbps with 128kbps mp3 audio. Superbad was 608x336 XVID, 23.976fps, 705kbps with 112kbps.
There was some slight stutter in the very fast-moving scenes, but I was extremely impressed with the performance. And, as one of the posters before me mentioned, Juno looked incredible on this screen. It's gonna be my impress-the-hell-out-of-friends video for now.

Wow thats awesome so it CAN play videos with that kind of resolution, and I think that bitrate is enough for me. But I dont understand why its not working with that res to some people .

It surprised me, too. I've been reading the forum for a little while, deciding whether or not I would buy an N8x0. Video was a big deal to me, as I'll often be using it as a portable media player.
The only explanation I can think of is that neither movie is very action packed. No big explosions or anything to choke it up. Juno, especially. And they did stutter a few times, but most of the time, they were smooth.
I'd imagine I'll mostly have to reencode movies for the IT. I bought the device with that assumption, so that's okay. But it was neat to see that, at least for SOME movies, it can do higher resolution pretty well.

When listening to music files, mplayer totally locks up, forcing me to kill the process. And after having mplayer load up either an audio or video file, the system as a whole gets really wonky.
PowerLauncher will no longer perform a soft shutdown and it's a 50/50 call for whether or not a full system shutdown will happen. Sometimes the shutdown process locks up in the middle, prompting me to remove the battery in order to get things rolling again. And then if it does shutdown, it won't power back up for about 5 minutes. Pressing the power button does absoultely nothing.
Again, I'm only seeing these issues after mplayer has been run. (version 1.0rc-maemo.24)

It also reminds me I need to download Juno....BTW, does anybody know if a 480x270 video might play without re-encoding? The audio is 96kbs formated as mp3 and the video rate is 74kbs at 23FPS
Sorry to hijack the thread
