I have a few questions regarding the N810, video support and such.

To start off, I guess the N810 doesn't have support for MKV. This is a pity considering it's growth as a container format. C'est la vie. It seems the device does support AVI, though. I suppose that's something if not the best option. This leads to question one: will there *ever* be support for MKV?

I've seen a few options for converting video to a format supported by the device. Unfortunately, they are all Windows apps. I find this ironic considering the love of the device coming from the Linux world. Hell, the device itself runs Linux. Question 2: are there *any* applications which will convert the format within Linux?

I'm aware of mencoder but I've unsuccessfully used it. Perhaps a HowTo for using mencoder for converting video could be made by someone that knows what they're doing.
