But for mkv playback, don't you have to change the encode anyways to play? I think (at least for the S9) you needed to make the video smaller than a certain size for it to play on the S9 even if it was a supported file type.

hence v5
anyway, j3 is out in korea too, and was announced for UK release as well

Not sure, but you still might have to convert your media to the maximum allowed resolution before it can be done. Sort of like, if your pmp allows a max 480 resolution, putting 720 or higher on it, the pmp is unable to play it. Though I can't confirm if it's the same in the V5, I'd assume the same general idea.

I'm looking at getting the Cowon V5 now. My Creative Zen X-Fi2, while decent, isn't really doing what I wanted.
I'm also looking for high quality in-ear headphones. Any particular brand recommendations?
killazys:
in-ear headphones
i say,
klipsch!
etymotic er 4 series (NOT ANY OTHER SERIES)
JAYS q-JAYS
Shure (<-- overpriced, though)
whatever you do, do not get overpriced and terrible ricer quality skullcandy/bose earphones. please?
V5 supports native 1280x720 up to 30fps

Hmm... that should be good for pretty much most encodes then. Not bad.
@ Proin: Consider looking up ABI forums. They'll send you in the right direction.
