Yes, please! I would like to find one that actually works. I suspect the NC is extremely picky on the codices and settings. The only thing I've found is the YouTube mobile site and those are CRAPPY--slow, pixelated, small sized.
And if you read the manual some of the formats supported can only be a maximum of 8xx pixels wide, and for other formats there is nothing SPECed. From reading many threads it seems other formats allow a maximum of only 720 pixels wide. The screen is large enough to show 1024 x 576 in 16:9 format. However, if you have to stretch (or zoom) a 720 x 405 (16:9 format) video out to 1024 x 576 you are watching a video with 291,600px stretched to twice the size at 589,824px. It might not make a hoot to some of you, but to me that is like watching analog TV stretched out to HD TV size. It will look like an inferior quality video. That is, it is interpolated and is using about half the resolution the screen is capable of using.
Or perhaps a better analogy is when DVDs first became popular and movies that had originally been released in VHS format were merely copied onto DVDs. You basically got a VHS low quality video that did not degrade with each viewing. It looked like crap and it was crap. Whenever you compared those VHF to DVD movies with the ones that were formatted especially for the new DVDs, the difference was like night and day.
If you want to see a demo of this in action, find a decent quality 720 x 405 video and play it on you computer at 100% size. Now increase the zoom to 200% and watch it again. That 200% viewing is about what you are going to get on the NC in fullscreen if you view the 720 x 405 video on it. The quality is definitely degraded at 200% zoom and sharp details will disappear.
