i don't need HD-playback because the screen resolution isn't even HD (800 * 480) as mentioned few times before.

but what's driving me crazy is the fact that i have got many .avi and .x264/.h264 videos created as a compromise between resolution, bitrate and of course filesize.
so mostly they have around 700 * 350 px and between 1200 and 2000 kbps on video-side and around 300 kpbs 5.1 ac3 on audio-side.
Hey is that using the baseline profile? The N900 can only handle the baseline "low-level" profiles...and most of the encoding gurus who deliver our hd content via a certain swedish portal use high-level profiles. Which, honestly, is the whole point of .264: lower bitrate, higher quality, screw the battery...

i find it easier to just re-encode my hd stuff in 800x4xx / mp4 / QF=2. Works out quite well, at pretty much the same bitrates you've mentioned up there, no complexity involved...
