I haven't had much luck with quality / artifacts yet, but both mencoder and ffmpeg run fine on the N900. Can't remember if they were in repos or not, but a quick Google should help. You could probably run them in Easy Debian too.

You can do a lot on the command line with mencoder / ffmpeg, but they're not full on linear video editors.

The last video I converted / edited with mencoder went at about 7fps.

I have FFmpeg version SVN-r19352-4:0.5+svn20090706-5 and MEncoder SVN-r30099-4.2.1.

Oh... interesting, I'll give that a try when I have some time.

I never was able to do this successfully under ubuntu.

I discovered that mplayer selects the wrong format and for some reason it makes the right selection when you pass it
-lavfdopts format=<anything>

For ffmpeg the only solution I could come up with was to build a newer version from source (I picked 0.6.1) In case you haven't done it before, just download the tarball, untar it, cd into the dir and type:

$ ./configure

$ make

(this takes a while)

$ sudo make install

Have no problems in iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, let alone anything more sophisticated.
