720p files actually play using RockPlayer on Nitdroid on the N900. Well, it's not watchable (~5fps), but sound plays fine at least. On Maemo5, it does not at all due to some form of video card driver limitation. Well, it would be much more watchable if DSP kicked in but right now, it's all CPU and obviosuly it's not enough.

how can I install it on my N900???!!!!! My knowledge about x-terminal and ... is just ZERO!

- install rootsh
- go to terminal
- sudo gainroot
- apt-get install vlc

"unable to lock the administration directory"
what should I do now?

do you have app manager opened also ?
if yes closed it and wait few minutes

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Couldn't find package vlc

Download these files, you can download from here:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/maemo/vlc/
save them where you are in the terminal
libvlc5_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb
vlc-nox_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb
vlc-player-nox_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb
vlc-player_1.1.0~git5935-1_armel.deb

then run
'dpkg -i debfilename' for each file in the order as below

but seriously it doesn't worth the try there is still bugs

right now i would not recommend to sina any fooling around in xterm. Let´s ask this: Do you know how to backup and completely and then flash your device? If yes then go ahead and experiment your device. Otherwise please learn first to backup and flash your device to factory settings. Remember that you are holding "computer" in your hands and you have all the power to fck it up completely

sooo true

Thanks a lot clovis.
package not installed (I really don't know why), but I'm happy that finally I learned a little about terminal!
but I've a question : if the command was dpkg for installing them, so what was apt-get ???
and why these files are not graphically installable (like windows)??? isn't that more user friendlier??? (I'm new to ubuntu (4 months), and I have this problem with that to)
