Actually, that is not true. The Droid IS capable of playing AVI (Xvid/Divx). YXFlash CAN play AVI's. I tested one myself. Very early in development though.

First time I tried it, I was using an Eris. Video was VERY choppy and out of sync...I decided for the hell of it, I would try again with my Droid...

First attempt was animation.

Xvid - Came out perfect using YXFlash. Did not fill as much of the screen as the converted MP4, but still looked clean.

MP4 - Looked the same as the xvid, but filled more of the screen.

Second attempt (Xvid only, TV Show (video, non-animation))

Very clean, but ever so slightly out of sync (I notice because I look for it, but it would not bother me...Can't be more than a few milliseconds)

To sum up either
1) They have optimized it alot since I used it on my Eris, or
2) The Droids hardware really is that much better

It is kinda pricey for an app though...$19.90. They are currently running a special for 30% off, so I might just break down buy it. It was $29.99 when I downloaded the trial on the Eris...

**EDIT** Just an FYI, the demo version only plays 2 minutes of video.
