That would be nice if a player engine could be broadly integrated in the tablet. The default player plays almost none of my videos. D:

In case its not clear, the 400MHz ARM CPU just does not have the power
to decode full-resolution videos. Its a pity as the screen has such high
resolution. Some "downloaded" AVIs are low enough resolution, and
mplayer seems to be the best bet.

why does mplayer play divx movies so slowly? is there a way to make divx movies play faster? its actually pretty annoying when im watching a movie at about 15 fps.

ln my experience, video playback is CPU-limited. LCD controller bandwidth is limited, but I usually max out the CPU first.
I think the DSP has the most potential to improve video playback, since it's virtually unused.
