And for anyone who is interested in the original thread, check out the Touch HD (Blackstone) forum at XDA.

I have The Dark Knight encoded to a 1.2GB AVI container, FLV/MP3 codec with 1000+kbps video bitrates that plays flawlessly.

[Edit: original thread here]
Is there really a definitive proof that the card class can potentially make a difference in internal read operations?

EDIT: As a result of my tests, research and observation, I'm leaning toward the belief that it's not the data bitrate that is the problem; I believe the device can read and process data plenty fast enough. There seem to be other bottlenecks; for example with video, it seems to have more to do with the raw number of pixels being processed for display ... I get benchmark increases, and bench data rate increases, between two files encoded at the same bitrate but which differ in pixel dimensions (e.g. a 640x480 550kbps file benchmarks at 85% while a 640x264 550kbps file benchmarks at 110%.
