video format?

(1/4) > >>

Hey I just installed Rockbox onto my 5G iPod (wayyy better then the original OS in my opinion), but I was wondering if Rockbox can play videos? if so, in what format? I know it isnt mp4 as I just tried to put office space onto it and it didnt seem to recognize it:P... This has probably already been asked but if someone could just humor me that would be great. Thanks.

Actually this page just got a bit outdated! (as of 01/01/07)

Videos with sound are now supported (.mpg files). Plain video streams (.m2v) are no longer supported. For PP targets (like iPods) it is also recommended to use kernel_on_cop_6.diff from FS#5755 which is a work-in-progress patch that enables the coprocessor and allows MpegPlayer plugin to decode video and sound on seperate cores resulting in way better fps results.

Really?? You are not kidding? Nice! It's in the daily build? It works for the gigabeat?

The initial implementation was committed today, so it will not be in the daily build until tomorrow.  Note, however, that there is a patch required that is not yet part of the daily build.
