I got the source from TED as a MP4 wrapper.<br>

Interesting, the XO-1.75 with VMETA drivers plays most .mp4 videos from the internet as-is, but it does not play this one -- the sound stutters and it drops a backtrace on exit due to I think memory corruption.<br>
<br>
However <a href="http://video.ted.com/talk/podcast/2009/None/RennyGleeson_2009.mp4" target="_blank">http://video.ted.com/talk/<u></u>podcast/2009/None/<u></u>RennyGleeson_2009.mp4</a> plays just fine on XO-1.75 with VMETA drivers. The quality isn't great, the XO-1.75 could play a much higher quality version if you have the bandwidth and storage (and one is available).<br>

I suspect it has something to do with this VMETA drivers you speak of. Does the stable image have VMETA? If not, how does one get the drivers?<br>

Is your goal to get one file that plays on both XO-1 and XO-1.75? Maybe you could try transcoding the not-light version and see if that results in something that both devices can play?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">
<br></div></div></blockquote><div>The goal is to play video on the 1.75, but thus far, the only video that will play is a tiny sized ogv video in Browse (no hardware accel, I presume). <br><br>A working solution would be great. <br>
