Thanks for the answer! Well, can you tell something about the performance of VLC on 770?? I did some tests with the Familiar Linux version of VLC on an iPAQ 3900 series (I do not remember the exact version right now...). The basic test was to reproduce a video, stored in the device itself, and the performance was terrible. The video was not displayed continuosly. There were delays of 3 to 5 seconds for updating the image. I did not tried to playback network streams. If playback of local files performed so poorly, i believe that reproducing network streams will not be better... Well, the question is: should I spend some more time trying to compile VLC for 770 or do I will have also problems with performance??
