AVI playback
safetydan:
Those are also not going to happen on most targets. Way too CPU intensive.
Llorean:
You really have a choice:
Speed
Filesize
Quality.
You get two of the three. With MPEG2 you can sacrifice filesize and possibly a bit of speed for quality. With MPEG-4 codecs you can't really sacrifice anything to gain back the speed you lose from it being more complex.

h.264/AVC is part of MEPG-4 (part 10)

But I guess you are talking about support for MPEG-4 part 2:

grossaffe:
i wasn't talking about the mp4 container, i was talking about the mpeg-4 option within the container. but either way, i guess its too hardware intensive. oh well, one can dream... or i guess i could also upgrade to a view... after it gets a rockbox port ;)

DivX and XviD are MPEG4 implementations.

I guess the Gigabeat is the only target with enough horse power to decode it in software. However, I believe there might be some targets with DIVX/XVID hardware decoding- it might be feasable on these, but the hardware needs to be figured out.
