Also, check http://wiki.maemo.org/Manual_video_encoding
I already tried that. Normally, if a video is too demanding mediaplayer comes out with a different error, something like "video resolution not supported". I did try to use also a resolution =400px, but with no luck.

The funny thing is that I normally encode my videos using Handbrake, with bitrates between 800 and 1000, and they always work and look gorgeous. I just wanted to have my little mencoder script, but at this point I suspect that it is something specific to my version of mencoder or libavcodec.
