I had some videos in MKV format that NITVC wouldn't touch, so I'm waiting for NITVC to support it

Don't worry about that: soon the dismal battery autonomy (less than 2 hours using the browser, I'd suppose that video will suck even more power, especially if you try to stream it) will make you go to sleep earlier.

I think it's more then that. I've watched several episodes of Gundam 00 back to back on it. Those episodes were about 30 minutes each (give or take a few minutes) and I skipped the intro and credits. So it's about 27 min each.

Heck, I've watched 2 movies back-to-back on the plane (Children of Men and A Scanner Darkly, 109 and 100 minutes respectively). 4 hours is about the time I get watching movies, and around 4-6 with heavy to light browsing.
Suffice to say, luca's battery life claims are completely bogus.
BTW, I personally think there are just too many video player options and they all seem to create a bit of confusion. I imagine it is worse for the typical home "I just want to turn it on and use it" user...then again one of the big reasons I went for the N800 is it's not some locked system. Anyway, it sure would help if the developer community gathered together and decided on some standards and maybe even pooled resources to create the needed conversion libs on the PC end.
Right now, I just deleted Canola because, while it's pretty, it doesn't play anything I own and I do not need application bloat. Then there is the default Media Player, a Media Center .
I installed Mplayer because it does support .divx and can eventually support NSV. I have tested it from the command line and have had mixed results for NSV (usually plays only the audio track, depends on if the NSV encoding uses IP6 or not) and EXCELLENT results with .divx. Then there is gawds knows what else...
I know I am media tech challenged, always avoided it like the plague, but I am far from the home pseudo-power user and it all looks kinda murky to me. I need simple as I get old...
