Good codecs for a video player on rockbox?

(1/1)

cmptrgy412:
Now that the Sansa has sound I feel more of a reason to help in rockbox development.

I have been messing around with the mpegplayer and it's sluggish to say the least with any good quality video.  

I was curious about what would be some good codecs to develop a player for.
The tradeoff of course being quality/size and of cpu usage of the codec.

donutman25:
How about mp4?

Its one of the easiest to convert to

safetydan:
Your best bet would be to work on optimising the existing codec. Porting another one doesn't really make sense.

It may be easier to convert to - but it's computationally more expensive to decode it - which means the playback would be *worse* on your handheld player - not better.
