H.264,WMV9 VC1, DivX and more
We told you that we managed to see some cool Tegra 2 documentation and we can tell you that when it comes to HD video decoding, Tegra 2 can cope with numerous standards. First of them is H.264 with sub standards Baseline Profile (B frames) — 1080p/20Mbps, Main Profile (B Frames, CAVLC) — 1080p, Main Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction) — 720p/6Mbps and High Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction).

Try link at #3 for much of the info...may be original source.
For reference, High Profile is basically Blu-ray. It is very good, but is lacking some of the bells and whistles H.264 is capable of. This means that some things that can decrease file size and/or increase quality, and that help with streaming, can’t be done. But then I don’t know any other portables that do this either.
Doing 20 Mbps HiP means it is capable of Level 3.1 performance. This is below most fixed HD players like the PS3, XBox or modern computers, but is quite a bit better than most portables.
Overall, sounds impressive for a low-power, portable device.

The ultimate goal is for UHDTV to be available in domestic homes, though the timeframe for this happening varies between 2016 to 2020 (mainly based on supported technical reasons concerning storage and broadcast distribution of content).[11]
I don't buy TV's every other year. Last one I bought was 7 years ago and it still works just fine.
