I am not sure exactly what formats the inbuilt media player supports, but for things like this I would be looking towards VLC. Check the Multimedia part of forum (http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=32) for more threads around this.
Canolola2 might also be useful?

I've made quite the opposite experience. Most stuff I throw at the N900 without transcoding plays smooth and fine. Even hires stuff, as long as it's not HD. My netbook does not play HD content fluently either.

What did the mediaplayer say when you tried to play these movies?
IMHO it runs most movies I tested. In addition, it is based on the GStreamer framework, so it will be quite easy to add additional codecs.
Best thing would be to open the movies on your PC with VLC, then post the video and audio codec information here.

Just transcode the AC-3 audio to MP3 or AAC and it will play. It does play DivX/XviD/H.264 video, among others, so the only problem I've had was to transcode the audio. In Linux I find that Avidemux does that without any issues. Just remember to downmix to stereo and choose reasonable bitrate.

thanks i will try this...
So yesterday i started throwing in random videos from my pc "avi. divx. xvid", and etc without doing anything with it just to see which video can it play without converting anything. But 10 out of 10 video i transferred into my phone none of them worked.
Do i need codec or something in order for it to work or is there something else?
