mediautils: tablet-encode

Just found this site that has an (cross-platform) encoder specifically designed to encode videos that work well on the N800. If this DOES work as advertised (haven't tried it yet) then this will be a very good thing for people who do not want to spend time figuring out what works and what doesn't.

While it is not a solution to the tons of h.264 encoded content out there playing natively on the N800, if it can re-encode those videos without losing too much quality, then it may not be THAT bad of a deal. I hate extra steps, but it is what it is until someone figures out how to get solid, fluid h.264 video to play on the N800. I also want someone to make it all happen (and I'm talking about from a copy protected DVD to an encoded file that plays well on the N800) with one click of the mouse on Linux! I have a WONDEFUL app for Windows only called DVDFab Platinum that can do just about anything you would want with DVDs whether copy protected or not. It is only ever one step (not ripping the DVD, then switching programs to encode or copy or even shrink then copy). It is truly a great application that works as advertised, but I am trying to do everything from Linux, so this is a pain for me.
