To rip a film DVD to 800x480 2000kpbs DivX: (probably overkill ;-))
Code:
tablet-encode --preset n900 dvd: mymovie.avi
To rip all episodes of a TV show DVD:
Code:
tablet-encode -p n900 --episodes dvd: outputfolder/
thanks, but do you have anything for windows which will convert to 800X480

I hate having black lines on the side, let alone on top and bottom

You can transfer them in USB mass storage mode.
But 720p or higher resolution is not supported.

You can legally get some movies here: http://www.youtube.com/movies
let me just say that of all the linux users i've known i have never seen a more political correct line than the one just right there.

first time usage for me of this word, applied to my own state of mind when i read the line: astonished.

tablet-encode is a perl script front end to mencoder. mencoder comes along with mplayer.

mplayer is cross platform and available for (microsoft) windows, as is perl.

The other best way is to download movies from www.movieberry.com for a small price. They support different formats for each movie. And, they are DRM free

The increasingly inaccurately named "tablet encode"

Has someone made any comparison between different resolution/codecs/bitrate and cpu load? Just wondering how to maximize battery life.

Quite small screen size with high resolution will probably mean in my case that i donīt see huge difference in lower resolutions (eg.640x384) compared to full resolution.

I don't get how to use tablet-encode on Windows. Searched all around and didn't find any instructions, and there's only tar balls on the download section.

tablet-encode requires perl and mplayer. Do you have those installed?

tar is used to extract tar balls. The best way to get a multitude of unix utilities onto a windows box is to install cygwin from www.cygwin.com (free and open).

tar xf tarball.tar
or for gzip compressed tarballs
tar xzf tarball.tar.gz

Just use the new xvid4psp 6.0 beta available at www.winnydows.com
It's free, no codecs to worry about and is very easy to encode for N900.
Oh. This is for the Windows users.

(version 6 is still beta so there are many fetaures missing such as creating custom profiles etc from the gui)
(I've been using 4.x version till now and 5.x is now very mature so should be good if u find 6.x a bit lacking)
