The reason why we should convert videos to an H.264 format
With VLC Media Player, you can now play just about any filetype, from AVIs to WMVs. So you know all those home movies you took with your video camera, or video you’ve downloaded from sources other than the iTunes Store? No need to convert them any more, just dump them into VLC.
Playback is fairly smooth and devoid of stutters, with looks comparable to videos in the YouTube app. It does have trouble with high definition video files with resolutions of 720p and above. For that, you’ll still have to convert to an H.264 format. I found color reproduction to be sub par, and there is a noticeable level of artifacting. But that is to be expected, because these alternative codecs do not have support for hardware accelerated playback like H.264 does. This means that playback of the video is handled entirely by the processor, instead of having hardware level access to the device’s graphics capabilities.
Videophiles will most likely stick to converting videos and playing them natively.
