And MV is a video player rockbox plugin for the iPod nano and photo.

And of course it's for ipodlinux not rockbox, but I guess that was just a typo.

Yes, but you should get the full quote:
--- Quote ---The MV Player is a compressed video player. It is an external application that can be run through podzilla. A compressed video is a video format that is smaller (in mega bytes) than the original size. IPL currently only plays decompressed videos so they are fairly large.

ok, now that I read it again I see Noxneo and gnu might gave been talking about the current video player for ipodlinux. I just assumed it was still about MV.

Ok does it matter if videos don't have sound? If you have a video you can still view it if you switch to the original firmware then switch back if you want to play doom or something.

That attitude could be taken to an extreme. Why should Rockbox play music? They can just boot into the normal firmware for that.
(I personally don't care about movies, and if the choice was between core functionality and battery life on the iPods, or getting movies to work, I'd pick the first every time)
