There are two things which people should be interested in:

1. What tools can I use for my N900, N8x0 and 770 for various OSes to transcode video/rip DVDs?
2. What are the limits of the device if I'm doing it myself manually?

I think the separation between N900 and "older devices" is a little artifiicial as most of the information is common to both; the only difference is in the maximum qualities supported.

Wiki page names are initial capital, rest lower case. For example:

• Video encoding - consistent
• N900 Video Encoding - inconsistent (if nothing else, should be N900 video encoding)
• Video Encoding Basic Guide - inconsistent (if nothing else, should be Video encoding basic guide)

However, the intention of http://wiki.maemo.org/Video_encoding was always the "basic guide". People who want a detailed walk through of all the options of a specific tool are best dealt with with a sub-page.

Suggested organisation:

• Video encoding - overview of tools for quick easy-to-use tools which support all tablet versions (tablet-encode, ITVC, Media Converter, Handbrake (with preset)); and mention of maximum recommended resolutions/bitrates.
• Video encoding/Manual - how to manually use mencoder/Handbrake/ffmpeg/other random tool. Details the limitations (codecs, resolutions, bitrates etc.)
• Video encoding/Handbrake_on_Windows - detailed step-by-step instructions for very inexperienced users who can't extrapolate from the overview.
