This is primarily a music device with video on the side and a small screen, if you want a video device with music on the side get an Archos or similar (which I also own :)). For the Miezu I normally re-encode at 15fps (from 29.97fps movies) and its perfectly adequate (ie,can't really notice on the small screen)... this isn't a home cinema setup, its a portable player with a limited amount of memory, reducing the file size is A Good Thing(tm).
The original review seems to mark down the UI controls, I certainly never noticed any problems with it other than getting used to a new device type settling in period (my Archos by comparison is pretty clumsy regarding the UI imo)
Re: 20fps
"srsly? 24 is bad enough at the source."
