The player can normally playback DivX, Xvid and VC-1 files without problems. However the VP9 is a no go and the playback was jerky. In addition, the internal player doesn't support playback of Blu-Ray ISO, so you better use the included ZDMC for those tasks.

The default video player did not support the 3D ISO files we tested, but the ZDMC will playback most 3D files without any problems.

Other benchmarks

We run a bunch of extra benchmarks with the X5 player, as you see below. You can see more details about each test by clicking on the score results:

Storage Tests - Read/Write Performance

Moving on to the important read/write tests, the player scored the results you see below for various read and write tasks through the ES File Explorer, using external storage devices and moving/copying a 716MB file:

The player read through LAN at about ~7.0mb/sec, and from Wifi at 5.0mb/sec. These speeds match the confirm the results we previously had in our bitrate tests. Obviously using LAN will give you the maximum performance.
