Rockbox plays MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 -- the SanDisk firmware plays MJPEG (in a MOV container).  See the PluginMpegplayer page in the wiki for more details and instructions about how to convert videos into the proper format for Rockbox. 

I don't know why support for more audio codecs should trouble you.  If you don't want to encode your music to any of these then don't.

I hope you mean MicroSD card, not MiniDisc.

If it's 4 GB there's a small possibility it's SD, not SDHC, so the OF might be able to use it.

Since you didn't mention it, I assume you've figured out how to transcode and play videos with Rockbox?

W/ Rockbox you can copy the videos to the microSD cards too- and actually play them.

I keep ONLY video on a few cards, and so even if I use the Original Firmware the database refresh takes only a second (or two) upon startup..
