I'm solely curious about what works out of the box.
Video playback file formats: .mp4, .avi, .wmv, .3gp;
codecs: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263
Claimed on the site. What can maybe contested as unclear here is that does not explicitly say wmv NINE and h264 BASE. The rest should be self explanatory.

Mine has played everything I've thrown at it...
It's done one interesting thing recently... it managed to play a 1080p quicktime (
) file via the standard Win7 upnp service... has my n900 become magic or does the Win7 upnp server transcode on the fly?

AC3 stereo audio works out of the box. But 5.1 AC3 audio does not work (player does not play file at all) 5.1 AC3 would be nice to downmix to 2 channels stereo or at least play left and right channel and leave rest alone.

as a suggestion
Could you add a location or link column in the table to download codecs /plugins etc that will allow users to do more (in the future)?

Now, with that said - and my total 100% correct prophecy that the "plain vanilla *.avi" verbiage would be the sole sticking point that would be pontificated upon ad nauseum - let's put it out there...
It can be Xvid, Divx, Microsoft, Radius Cinepak, and a ton of other codecs that all can be used with the wrapper that makes up the file extension *.avi. Now... to continue down that path will dilute the sole reason I'm even in this thread... I'm curious not about what codec or file format is the one of choice nor what should or might work... I'm solely curious about what works out of the box.
And I've already stated... since it's been somewhat proven otherwise, the OP was incorrect. Not unless there's a codec - which is pertinent to his dilemma and not the pedantic noise that's still forthcoming, then that is what is important.
Now, I think that's quite clear. The N900 "does play" *.avi files... right? Carry on.
