Can you try to convert it using the Nokia Video Converter (http://www.nokia.com/betalabs/videoconverter) and report if you see the same problem?

You raise an exellant point and one that I've been asking for some time.
The N800 has a beautiful 800 x 480 pixel screen. This works out to an aspect ratio of 1.66:1 if the pixels are square. They are square aren't they?
The reason I ask this is because all of the widescreen DVDs I own are 720 "thingies" wide x 480 "thingies" high. The N800 should be able to resolve a DVD at full resolution with a pair of 40 pixel wide bars on each side. I understand that the processor may not be able to keep up.
However, said DVD also states that it is 16:9 (or 1.77:1) but the label on the box also says the aspect ratio is 2.40:1.
So now I'm totally confused. If I had a full HD TV (1080 x 1920 with a 16:9 aspect ratio), I'm guessing this 2.40:1 aspect ratio widescreen movie would have black bars top and bottom (if it scans at full width) on the widescreen TV.
So, all that being said, I have not found a single package that does the four things I'm looking for:
#1 and most important. It must convert MPEG2 (*.VOB files) into a format the N800 will decode. It must also be able to stitch together 1 gig *.vob files into one cohesive movie. This seems to be a tall order.
#2 I video preview screen that allows you play around with zooming and preview it for the best balance of seeing things (like subtitles) and filling the screen.
#3 Audio and video must remain in sync. Things also seems to be a big problem. Almost nothing is more distracting then having dialog 100ms ahead or behind the video.
#4 I don't need this but it would be nice. BATCH PROCESSING.
DVDclone Mobile has the nice preview viewer but their N800 template does not work for the N800.
#1 DVD Ripper has audio/video sync problems and I have not found an encoding profile the N800 will decode.

#3 Audio and video must remain in sync.
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guid...ppvdubmod.html
Instructions
To adjust out of sync sound video: -
1. Load your completed avi (with out of sync sound) into virtualdubmod (In the tools folder where you installed SimpleDivX).
2. Go to File, then 'File Information'. In the video details, look at the length. Compare that to the length in the audio details.
3. Take the difference and multiply by 10 (because we need to know how many milliseconds (thousandths of a second) not the hundredth of a second shown here).
4. Click OK
5. In the 'Video' menu, ensure 'Direct Stream Copy' is selected
6. Got to 'Streams' and them 'Stream list'. There should only be one stream listed there, as 'AVI audio stream 1'. Right click on that stream to ensure 'Direct Stream Copy' is selected.
7. Right click on the stream again and go to 'Interleaving'
8. In the box labelled 'Delay audio track by', enter the number you worked out before (difference between the 2 lengths, multiply by 10).
9. Click OK and then OK again
10. Go to 'File' and 'Save As'. give it a file name (don't overwrite the other file, just in case). Click ‘Save’.

Sorry. Didn't intend to shout. I was texting my frustration at companies (like Apollo) who claim to have batch processing on their product (#1 DVD Ripper) but don't.
It takes 3-6 hours for my machine to crunch a full length movie into an *.AVI file. Batch processing allows me to queue up 2 or 3 movies at once and go to bed. I don't have to nurse maid the machine and see how its doing. I once queued up 10 TS_VIDEO directories and left for the weekend. Upon my return, I had 10 *.AVI movies waiting to put on my PMP.

Doesn't Gordian Knot pretty much do all of those things?
You might have to dink about with some basic settings, but DVD Decrypter + DGIndex + Gordian Knot does everything you are asking for.

Avidemux is really the OPTIMAL solution for the tablets.

I've converted some .avi movies with MediaConverter 1.42 to watch in My N800 (OS2008). I use the optimal setting for N800 (770 MPlayer Optimal 400*240). However, when I do so the screen gets chopped so that I can't see subtitles etc... ? This is when I have the option "Optomize for 770 Full Screen (crops video)" ticked.
When I try to convert without "Optimize..." ticked (but still with 400*240) I can see the subtitles, but the visible area of the screen screen is shrinked into something that looks like 4:3, i.e no widescreen.
No matter wchich player I use, the default Media Player or MPlayer the results are the same...
Are there some settings that I have missed here?
Cheers!
