What would be the point of encoding a video using the theora codec, given that the N900's hardware supports H.264 and MPEG4 natively?

That's why I think it's a bad advice to recommend non-native encodings just for the sake of supporting open standards. Choose the format that the hardware can handle best.

Regarding the video codecs, I'd say the first poster was spot on.

As for now, I'm giving dvd::rip a shot, with MPEG4/MP3; hopefully it will work out better than trying to use VLC. I couldn't get VLC to rip and transcode a video that would play.

As well I'm confused in the way that for example if the original video already is a lower size, say 640x350, is it ok to leave it at that or can you and should you force it somehow to 800x480?

There is free converter that I use called Format Factory.
Just Google it.
Works like a charm. All kinds of settings.

i have spent much time to convert any kind of video to try to obtain this setting for a good quality movie.
You can use any kind of Audio-Video Converter 'under windows' with some advanced setting.
For MAC user there is a good free software called "Kigo Video Converter", simple to use, can convert in good time every kind of video.
