I use mencoder on my Linux desktop.  This works well for lower quality
files:

    size="-vf scale=240:144"
    audio="-oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=medium"
    video="-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600"
    mencoder -o file-n800.avi $size $audio $video file.avi

And I used this to transcode a DVD for viewing on the N800:

    size="-vf scale=400:240"
    audio="-oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard"
    video="-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600"

    mencoder -o movie.avi $size $audio $video dvd://1

Hope this helps.
