Hey Leke;

I'm on Linux too, and I like to use tablet-encode by Jaffa: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...6&postcount=31

The mplayer preset works perfectly; it's a perl script for mencoder, I think, but a very good one -- you could look at it and see what it's doing. (It has command line and gui modes though, very handy.) I have it set up to automatically convert anything I download.

mediaconverter2 is also nice; it's java based, also uses mencoder.
