Video playback

---

So most of us know that tegra 2 is pretty much useless for playback of HD material

But how does the MS8255 chip work when it comes to playback of hd material?
Does it support more?

Those with arc can you give us any info on the possibility to download a random HD torrent and view it on your phone?
