The Wiz is a very powerful little handheld. But one feature is not used to the full extent - playing videos.
Right now the Wiz supports only XVID DIVX as video and MP3 WAV as audio. With todays abundance of different formats this is just not enough. Besides, the video also stutters at some moments - and this should not happen with the powerful CPU and GPU (which is not used as far as I understand in the video player). The screen is just amazing and it cannot be enjoyed to the full extent without proper video playback. There are many players that can be ported: VLC, Mplayer, SMplayer, just to name a few. All the sources are also available:
Mplayer: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html
SMplayer: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloads.php?tr_lang=en
So, how's the idea? Would anyone do it? Or maybe some work is already being done? Maybe a whole media center to play many different formats?
