Don't worry, other devices in this size class won't play 720p MKVs either - Android devices have only just gotten decent DivX playback, and that doesn't even work on first-gen devices at all.
Hell, even my Moto Milestone struggles with DivX on Android (somehow I get the feeling that Android is very inefficient for stuff like this), even though it's got the same CPU as the N900... So count yourself lucky

Is it not still ridiculous to allocate 4+ gig for a 720p file in a tricky container to be played on 480p 3.5" screen?

Well... I guess I'm just ahead of my time then. Hopefully next-gen devices will be HD-capable, now to play the waiting game...

This didn't help?
since the post from zaheerm is from october 2009, is there anything new today?
i tried the knots2-player and it works with my 720p mkv-files, but using knots is not a very convenient solution to me, especially since the player is really not very usable.

I think we may just have to wait for an official VLC

I can get it to play back 720p at 3-4fps with mplayer but it pegs the cpu even with the following switches:
I tried the lavdopts lowres=1 but it caught an exception and died.
Code:
mplayer -vo x11 -vf scale=800:480 -ao pulse -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all -autosync 30 file.mkv

To get the n900 media player to recognise mkv files, you need to do as root after installing the extra gstreamer packages:
tracker-register-mimetype -c Videos -a video/x-matroska
I guess someone should create a meta package for all the container types not supported and have this kind of command added to the postinstall of the package

Because to my understanding, it looks like it's 100% impossible... Unless you scale it down, but then I hate that because it is no longer a 720p file... And streaming is completly useless and I refuse to do so... Most of my tv shows and movies are 720p (some are 1080p but it would be ridiculous to put an 8gb movie on a small device, lol) and I would really like to have them on my tablet.
