It was renamed to tablet-encode: http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/
I've heard Knots could work too.

Can it be run on a desktop?

You could always just do it with mencoder if you're using Linux. Here's a guide complete with command line to make that happen.

Newer versions have made it easier to define your own presets, and improved DVD ripping.
The definitive reference on the various end-user conversion methods is in the wiki:

Is there a conversion tool for Linux? I remember back in the day (geez, I sound like a geezer), there was something called 770convert, which I used for my Zaurus. Is there something similar today or should I dust that off?
Thanks,
