They have dedicated hardware decoding for H.264 playback, so not quite 
comparable to the Epia that Robin has. It may work though if the frame 
size & bit rate are low enough.

But then you run the chance that at that point xvid/divx may offer 
better quality (for the Epia - it may be able to playback larger 
framesize or higher bitrate for xvid compared to H264) plus will be 
quicker to transcode.
