If I am not mistaken, dosen't TCPMP natively support these formats? I might be wrong?
no,it doesnt support it. I got some American Dad episodes, and it says "Video Codec(AVC akaH.264) not supported by the player!"... then the audio plays, no video
.m4p or .mp4???? .m4p is a protected file, and it will not work. However .mp4 should work.

As far as the h.264 decoding on PocketPC - wait for CorePlayer 1.0, which will have a version of CoreAVC for PocketPC included with it. FFMPEG for PocketPC (a plugin which comes with 0.71b and the like) does support h.264 as well, but you need a 624MHz CPU to really run it. CoreAVC promises better performance, but you need to wait for CorePlayer to get that.
A beta version of the CoreAVC plugin for TCPMP was made available for download last December but was taken off in less than a month. I hear that it's fantastic. :)

Yeah I still have the AVC plugin, it plays AVC encodes rather well. I still use Xvid thou for better compatibility between all my devices
What's the advantage of AVC over Xvid? Just curious.
AVC is what Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are using for video - it allows for a far better compression rate than XviD or DivX (or MPEG-2 for that matter, which is used on DVDs).... but at the cost of more CPU power. In other words, a 170MB h.264 file will outdo a 170MB DivX or XviD file in terms of video quality, because the h.264 holds more data and thus lets you either have higher-resolution video, better picture quality, or both... but you need a beefier CPU to handle the calculations required for the decoding. Or you could have that same video quality as the DivX file in something half the size... but again, it takes more processor time to unpack it afterwards.
