In Blitor's defense, though he may not have known, the graphics chip found in the X5xv (
Intel 2700G) is capable of hardware MPEG-2 decoding and even Intel's SDK contains a sample MPEG-2 video player. To be honest, I'm quite surprised there still isn't a video player capable of taking advantage of the 2700G's MPEG-2 decoding capability. I remember over a year ago Picard and PocketTV Team were trying to implement it into their respective video players but something about the
MPEGLA or some limitation to the X50v's hardware (free program RAM perhaps?) put an end to that. Anyway, the thread can be found here:

Back on topic: Even if there was a player capable of MPEG-2 playback I doubt it would be able to handle the high video and audio bitrates used in DVD MPEG-2 proprietary files (those damned VOBs). So your best bet's still to convert to DivX anyway. :approve:
Also I hear TCPMP now supports H.264 video content, don't know if it's hardware accelerated, but that's always a plus.
