 It doesn't support it because the hardware doesn't have a built in mpeg4 
decoder and the cpu isn't fast enough to decode it by itself.  The windows 
based software does it by transcoding it on the server and serving up mpeg2
to the device.

 There has been talk by several people of working on a transcoding server 
that could convert a divx/xvid on the fly and feed mpeg2 to the mvp, bu so far
noone has done it.
