Tutorial: Simple PMP media encoding/resizing with mencoder
That's pretty much what the old 770-encode script did; it was just a perl wrapper that called mencoder with a bunch of preset arguments for various levels of quality. I still use it on my mythbox to re-encode video/recordings/etc to put on my N800 and take on long flights/holidays/etc; works just fine and is nice and quick/easy to use.
