stuff ive encoded my self - all my movies were encoded using h.264 for when i had my iphone, i used handbrake on my mac,,,

settings are as follows

codec: x.264
size : 640x272
quality : constant 60% RF: 20

ive used these settings for years, they look and play fab on my ipod touch (1G) and perfectly when i had my 3GS, since the N900 is similar to the iPhone in terms of CPU & GPU i assumed they would play fine, but even the Nokia rep's N900 where I work has issues playing video, although he mostly has divx stuff

the videos play but damn theres a lot of dropped frames,

plus i dont really wanna re-encode over 200 movies, a lof of them are my kids stuff (disney) for long road trips,

if youve got any tips I would be very greatfull
