I converted one movie a few versions back and it stayed as 16:9 ratio on the N800 but all my recent ones are not.

Does anyone know how I can watch movies in the letterbox format on the N800?

thanks.
I just discovered that you are correct: Version 1.43 is still as f*cked up regarding the aspect ratios as the previous versions were.

I did trial conversions of "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Casino Royale", both for N800, 400X240, deselected the cropped for 770 screen option, 2 passes, enhanced audio and colour. tGtBatU came out squashed vertically and CS exactly the opposite (stretched vertically). The first one is a bog-standard DivX and the second an equally normal XVID.

I'm beginning to think Konttori is out of his depth on this one and that I have to start looking for another conversion tool.
