I use the RockPlayer app for my droid, and it works *much* better than
the built in app.  Plays almost anything you can throw at it (although
some will obviously jerk if the codec is not accelerated).  I did give
a few bucks for it, but IIRC it was reasonable..  There may be
something free out there by now, but I could not watch webex's without
this player at the time since they were streamed wmvs..
