We need a sticky from Dave? listing supported formats for sequence, audio, and video files...I think right now the choices are .fseq, .oog, and .mP4, with others in development? Once he (or whomever) has done so, feel free to delete this post...TIA
I'm especially interested in seeing support for .mkv video files

The video player we will using is called omxplayer. It supports mkv, mp4 and avi for sure and most likely others. The sequence files supported are fseq and eseq. The music files at this time are ogg and soon mp3

here is a web page that describes the omxplayer and the raspberry pi.
the third page says that these runs 720p no issues, but can sometimes skip when playing 1080p.

my video worked great but it was 720p resolution.

720p should be fine for projecting onto a house; to find an ultra short throw projector at a reasonable price is the first step for me, but I'm in no hurry

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I read that last post and started wondering, "would 720p really be acceptable for a whole-house projection?" Well, if you project 50' wide at 720p then each pixel will be slightly less than 1/2", so yeah, I think that would be fine. Say that, as part of your whole house projection, you have a Virtual Santa in a 3'x4' window, well the res for that one part of the video would be 77px x 102px (shown in attachment), which is a little coarse, and at 1080p that same window would be about 115x153. Again, pretty low-res, so you might want to stick with a dedicated projector for areas that require higher res.
