Hi Zaphod,
Thanks - indeed I Googled "Elpida" after I posted the earlier comment and realised they manufacture memory!! (1GB in this case).

ops: I think the soundchip is the small raised one next to a timing crystal.
Anyway, I am clearly not getting the most out of my Meizu M6 at the moment and would like someone to suggest the ultimate piece of software for converting straight from DVD.
BACK TO BASICS: I want the Meizu to play videos as smoothly as my Rockchip player does. Over to you, folks.
