You can play them on the GTA01 even, if you're willing to transcode the movie to a reasonably low bitrate (while also prerotating it) before watching. For suggested mencoder parameters that I found to provide quite adequate results for a small screen, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Video_Player The Freerunner will have accelerated rotation and scaling at least, probably also motion compensation for some formats (or at least I heard about Xvmc work being done at some point on the IRC channel, I believe). Subject to driver development I have the impression that the Glamo chip is able to further accelerate mpeg4 playback, however, what with the beefed up CPU and the hw scaling and rotation one should already be able to play more video files "out of the box" without crappifying them beforehand as is mostly necessary for the GTA01. (Note that when decoding with the CPU versus a dedicated chip, the battery will generally deplete faster even if the CPU is up to the job, though.) So, umm, yeah; don't expect too much, but at the very least we have decent quality pre-transcoded QVGA video playing _now_ on the GTA01's, so things aren't looking bad from where I'm standing. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
