Just a quick advices for video conversion: always try to use integer values!
Examples:
- The screen resolution of the N800 is 800x480. So if your video is 400x240, when asking the N800 to go fullscreen it will use a very efficient and clean "x2" filter.
- If the video you are about to convert is 30 frames per seconds and you whishes to reduce the frame rate, choose 15 or 10 (1 out of 2 or 1 out of 3), and avoid 24!
Here is the latest profile I did for iriverter 0.16 (http://iriverter.sourceforge.net/)
This profile will preserve original video aspect ratio adding (if needed) black strips on top/bottom or on the borders.

Thanks for the info. I like Media Converter's convenience, but now I'm going to have to play around with VirtualDub and iriverter. The tinkerer's curse: if I could stop fiddling around with software, I'd get more movie watching done. ;-)

Actually, you do not have to limit mp3 to 96 kbps - 128 and up are fine.Modern mplayer versions are using DSP core to decode mp3 audio, this causes no load on main ARM core at all, so any bitrate which can be handled by DSP is ok and this is surely over 128kbps.

So how do you add a profile to iriverter then?
Launch iriverter, select "Options" menu, "Device", "Nokia", "N800".
Then "Options" / "Bitrate" to select the bitrate you want for audio and video.
I would recommend also to select "Normalize Volume" in "Options" / "Advanced" / "Volume..."
Drag and drop the file / directory you wishes to convert and run
I have no special interest in iriverter. It is "yet another front end on mencoder" but I find it very easy to use and stable. I used it intensively for my iriver U10 before I go my N800. Since I'm used to it and didn't found anything else doing a better job, I didn't change.
Only thing I can not talk about is the conversion of a DVD. I never used that feature so I don't know how it behaves.

I just tried Iriverter with the parameters rheve gave earlier and the converted video doesn't stretch to fill the screen: It really plays as a 400x240 video, leaving half the N800's screen black, both in Mplayer and Media Player. If I select "Pan and Scan", I first of all get a cropped video (not what I want), and the filesize is twice that of the first conversion (even with reduced sound bitrate), from 350 to 750 mb.
Weird. And back to VirtualDub, I guess...

dont forget to set up your mplayer commands properly if you havent already
Other than that, VirtualDub gives me a lot more control over clips I recorded myself: cropping, resizing and oodles of other ways I can fritz up a movie that I haven't even discovered yet.
