Ok... so I know there are threads out there about how to convert movies for the n900 using programs on the PC. But is there anything out there that allows you to do this directly on the n900? Being able to download a torrent, encode it, and play it on the spot would be positively bad a**

@OP: I'm not sure of exactly what software you'd want to use, but what are you trying to do, exactly? SD video plays fine on the N900 as-is, in my experience, and while encoding/transcoding video on-device is surely possible, I don't think it would be terribly practical. If you wanted to download an HD movie and convert it to something the N900 can play, all on-device, then you may as well go home and do it there, in terms of the time and battery drain.
If you're meaning something else, please clarify.
Cheers,
