Works like a charm. All kinds of settings.

Won't work under Ubuntu

. Looks nice though. Thanks anyway.

I use either handbrake or mencoder for conversions. Lately I've been using handbrake almost exclusively because it just works. Always.
Plus it's multi-platform.

Under Ubuntu I use tablet-encode (you should find it using synaptics), it has a preset for the n900 that works very well.

i use xvid4psp from winnydows.com

it has an nice set of formats and presets included.
i made a preset for it based of the handbrake version and he included it in current release

future updates of program wil include old features removed such as hard coding subtitle to video etc

Very interesting. Which preset do you normally use? Universal?

I was still using v2.19, didn't know there was an update with a n900 mode. I noticed that there was a post on 2010-02-05 at the tablet-encode homepage asking if it can be used to encode H.264 in a MP4 container, but with no reply. Any word that you kno on that?

Thanks for the help guys.

Universal is the catch-all choice. I have created a preset from Universal specifically for the n900.
Video:
-> h.264, same framerate
-> 2 pass encode
-> Bitrate = 1500 (I sometimes change this to target filesize depending on the source.)
-> Audio: passthru max bitrate = 450

Then change the picture settings from the toolbar depending on input video.

Seems your wish is about to become reality: Theora On N900

I don´t run Ubuntu my self as of yet, but maybe this can help:

Yah, WINE is a great utility when nothing else will do, but I try to stick with native solutions unless there's no other choice. BTW, another alternative would be to use something like Virtualbox. I use that running XP to connect to my work's VPN because the server they use (Checkpoint) doesn't offer a linux client. TX

I've tried several things & can't seem to get it to work. Being a CLI guy I came up with this:

HandBrakeCLI --markers --turbo --encoder x264 --width 800 --height 480 --vb 1447 --rate 23.976 --aencoder ac3 --arate 44100 --mixdown stereo --ab 1411 --two-pass --format mp4 -i /dev/sr1 -o James_Bond-Casino_Royal.dvdrip.handbrake.n900.mpg

While it seems to follow the settings:

Code:

$ midentify James_Bond-Casino_Royal.dvdrip.handbrake.n900.mpg                                                              
ID_VIDEO_ID=0
ID_AUDIO_ID=1
ID_SUBTITLE_ID=0
ID_FILENAME=James_Bond-Casino_Royal.dvdrip.handbrake.n900.mpg
ID_DEMUXER=lavfpref
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=avc1
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=800
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=480
ID_VIDEO_FPS=23.976
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=ac-3
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_LENGTH=9417.30
ID_SEEKABLE=1
ID_CHAPTERS=0
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=448000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=ffac3
ID_EXIT=EOF

Media Player can't play it because it doesn't recognize the audio codec & mplayer (via SiB) plays the audio badly out of sync & the video is very slow & stutters. What am I doing wrong?

As well is there any way to get Handbrake to convert an existing DIVX .avi file? It seems to only accept a device (i.e. dvd) input.
