What's the maximum resolution I can watch a movie on my N900? 800x480? Do I have to convert a movie with higher resolution or is there another option?

You can watch videos stored in a higher resolution and the N900 will reduce them down to fit on the screen. In common with sretching lower resolutions up to the full screen, this takes work for the N900 to achieve.
The reason for converting files to the natural resolution of the N900 is to avoid this workload on the unit. There are several threads on video conversion and a good article in the Wiki too covering how to do this.

Using MPlayer + KMplayer I've watched every standard DVD rip (720x480) I've come across without any problems.

I was trying to play an mp4 with resolution of 720x574 on Mplayer + KMplayer. Didn't work, though. That's why I asked. Using SIB and MPlayer only Audio worked well while the video itself was in slow-motion. Any ideas?

I was re-encoding H.264 videos with resolution > 1024x??? with Handbrake with the default N900.plist. Found out anything greater than 800x480 (either horizontal or veritcal resolution) wouldn't play.

Well Fargus said, that
Now, what's true? Do I have to convert to a lower resolution or will the N900 fit a high-res video to screen?
You can watch videos stored in a higher resolution and the N900 will reduce them down to fit on the screen. In common with sretching lower resolutions up to the full screen, this takes work for the N900 to achieve.

By running video with higher resolution then supported mplayer claims:
FATAL: Cannot initialise video driver.
Source image dimensions are too high: yyy x zzz (maximum is 864x648)
Audio playes fine
FYI I've ran mplayer from console in order to see what is going on....
