Thanks for the hint, drfredc!

Unfortunately RM VBR is not included in the supported formats of handbrake. 
Still looking... Please advise on.

 Google Handbrake -- download the windows version. For dvd copy
 protection video issues, google dvd43.
 
 In Handbrake -- select preset PSP, mp4, 400 x 240, Video -- 70%
 conversion. If/When that works, in Presets set default and in
 Tools/Options select load default. Handbrake works fine for many, but
 not all, video formats. It's basically focused upon the Ipod
 marketplace, but has enough users in other formats to keep things
 plugging along. There's a good online handbrake support forum.
 
 Nokia's conversion software works fine too, only it's got a different
 set of video files that it works on... Doesn't do DVDs... It did a great
 job on converting some mp4 and avi videos I've got into something my
 n800 could play.

 you guys have any Windows-based converter to recommend? I've got some
 RM VBR videos on my laptop, and I intend to watch some on my N800 on
 the go. Thanks!
 p.s. no video at all, only audio works while playing those RM VBR on
 default Mediaplayer or the ported Mplayer on N800.

If you are using Windows, take a look at Super : 
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

The web page is overly confusing, but I have never been able to fault 
the software. It does a pretty good job with most formats I've thrown at 
it. Worst problems have been audio sync issues - which are painful to 
fix, but are fixable with tweaks to the settings.

I also use Videora iPod Converter for my iPod and have found that the 
h.264 that outputs works pretty well on the N800. Not tried it past a 
couple of videos though - I usually watch video on previously mentioned 
iPod.

Hope that helps,

M

The Video converter on Nokia's website does seem to work well...  Do you guys 
have any Windows-based converter to recommend?  I've got some RM VBR videos on 
my laptop, and I intend to watch some on my N800 on the go. Thanks!

p.s. no video at all, only audio works while playing those RM VBR on default
