Well of course video quality is a somewhat subjective experience. What is a disaster for you could be better than expected for me. Also, you talk about the N800, while my experiences refer to the 770 (of course I would assume that the N800 is even better, but this could be wrong.)

Most of the the time I encode full DVDs with transcode. I set it to 320x192 at a framerate of 15fps and a video bitrate of ~300kbps. Video codec is xvid4 (fourcc changed to DIVX later), audio codec mp3 (44100 Hz, 2 ch, 64.0 kbit). A full movie is about 250MB with these settings (2-pass encoding).

I'm very pleased with the results.
