So what if Apple revealed 720p HD video for iPhone 4, even Google’s Nexus One has the capability built in, crippled by the software.

It was said that iPhone 3GS had 720p too, but in order to save on the battery juice, they had to do it.

VideoLAN VLC is among the most popular video players on Windows, Linux but still not the best one. The decoding codecs used by current versions of VLC (1.0.x) are way too inferior in performance and quality as compared to the top of the line.

The Proof of Concept comes when one tries to play a 1080p High-Def video in VLC vs. using other Codecs. Our previous post talks about superior contenders in Codecs: CoreAVC, that lets you play 1080p smoothly, even on low-end machines (1.5Ghz Dual core, low-end GPU).
