With the previous version of Media Converter I could encode Divx files without any problem (although the ones I had for my SE P910 were a bit grainy on the 770, they played flawlessly after passing through MC).

As I am converting most of my old VCR collection into Divx files, not being able to convert those to the 770 is a bit of a problem for me.
Try uninstalling, deleting the folder (in Program Files or wherever you put it), reboot, reinstall. Solved it for me, Karel.

How do you get the audio and video to sync? I'm finding that with the 770 video plyer it's way out and with mplayer for the 770 just a little out. I'm using wmv files. Is there a setting in the interface for this?
You can alter the config file of MPlayer, so that the "up" and "down" keys on your 770 can be used to adjust audio delay, and make it sync perfectly. For information on the config file, check the MPlayer documentation on Maemo.org. To edit it, you need to become root and install an editor such as MidnightCommander (again, Maemo.org). There's additional information on all that in the gigantic MPlayer thread on this forum.
