The Core Player v 1.3.2 build 6909 on my HTC HD does not lag at all. I am using Dutty 3.3 ROM.

Use THIS, it is very useful.

No malice intended. You make it sound like a downgrade Windows XP to Windows Vista is a downgrade
Perhaps like Windows XP to Windows 7
Again no malice intended.

USPL or HSPL? IMO those whom have not yet flashed before, USPL is an easier way.
USPL>Stock ROM 1.57>USPL>Latest Cooked ROM,eg Dutty 3.3

USPL process is only a few second.

Hard Reset will revert your device back to your current ROM (latest) but without any data or programs you have installed, ie. just like when you first got your phone.

You don't have to backup. The current ROM is stored at the ROM of you device and cannot be accessed or removed unless you flash. Hard reset will only restore your current system with one that does not have any data and third party programs.

What help do you need? I am prepared to guide provided that you are more specific with what you want to do with your HTC HD.
Install application programs? Tools? Flash? I don't do games

How to Flash
You MUST read carefully, Basics and Other Flashing Tools

Dummies guide for flashing ROM and THIS

Download Dutty 3.3 ROM from here.

You need to download blac_uspl.exe which is the USPL program. This program usually comes with Dutty's ROM package. If you can't find it go to Dutty 2.8 ROM to get it.

Go thru the above three posts and you will be ready to flash. Make sure you fully understand the instructions before you proceed. Do not rush.

No, I have not tried 800X480 file.
I have gone thru 3 WM phones, 240x320, 240x400 and now 480x800. I have tried almost all the video commercial and freeware converters and to my surprise Pocket DivX Encoder can convert almost any video, hassle free. However the output video resolution size is limited. If you can live with that, then this converter is ideal. Since all WM phone screens are so small, the difference in the visual of the playback resolution is not noticeable.

Selecting a right video player is also as important. The Core Player v 1.3.2 build 6909 gives me hassle free play back, including flv files.

Pocket DivX Encoder and Core Player is an ideal pair

Do you have tnyynt SD TuneUP.cab and ATI D3D driver installed?

Just for future ref, you need to rename the .ndh file to BLACIMG.nbh. Only insert the SD card to the device just before you execute USPL. Yes, it is to be located at the root directory.

Program tab needs an installation. Cab can be downloaded from where you downloaded the ROM

Weather at appointment. At Today tap CLOCK. Make sure Kuala Lumpur is ticked not other city.

......and backup your SDHC Card to your PC, especially if you are using Dutty ROM

Dutty ROM does NOT corrupt SD Card. However if your SD Card was partially corrupted earlier, after you flashed Dutty ROM based on 1.56 and above, there is a good chance that your SD Card might suddenly not be detectable after some time. Quite a number of reports in XDA. Before your PC also cannot recognize it, you can format the SD Card and the problem will go away. Read more at XDA

Anyway it is a good practice to backup up your SD Card regularly.

The beta WM6.5 is still buggy therefore I have no interest in the cooked ROM based on it. I have only tried Dutty and am pleased with it.

SpriteBackup? Dutty 3.3 on my device does not hang at all. As for speed it is much faster than the original Stock ROM. NO FEAR

On the third row of the keyboard, the first button allows you to choose Direct or XT9. XT9 is predictive word.
