Chronon:
Rockbox only plays mpeg-2 videos.  If you want to view videos in Rockbox then you need to transcode them to the proper format.  You can view the PluginMpegplayer page on the wiki for some ways to do this.  However, due to lack of documentation, Rockbox does not use the Broadcom video decoder chip that the Apple firmware uses to decode video.  Due to this you will not achieve the same performance (e.g. frame rate) that you get using the Apple firmware.  I believe that many (most?) 5g (or 5.5g) iPod users boot into the Apple firmware to watch video.

You will find some useful resources at this page: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UsefulTools#MP3_Tagging_Organization
