Nobody has volunteered to write such an application. As well, these devices don't really "support" anything as hardware. The software on it supports some formats though (usually though, the sync software is secretly converting it behind your back anyway).

Rockbox is an audio player firmware. It was originally designed around devices that didn't have any much likelihood of ever seeing use as video players (mono screens, etc). A lot of its format support developed during that time. Now that it's on devices more suitable to video, nobody has stepped forward to do the work.

redblade8:
Oh I see =P makes sense. Thanks. I am using ultimate converter, it had some errors that pop up on videos that are perfectly fine ( like if can't decode it, or error pops up a million times...) I will try another converter software for those videos...
