Most of the topics in this forum discussing video encoding for N8x0 are old or are based on the build-in video player.

So far, what I've found, is that I can play 640*450 without any lags.

Container: AVI
Width 640
Height 640/Aspect Ratio
Video Codec: Xvid (with 1 pass)
Video bitrate: 800
Audio Codec: MP3
Audio Bitrate: 128

This works like a charm even with subtitles, I'm looking forward to see what can you get from the N8x0 processor.
Do you encode those at full frame rate? I've never managed to get any video player on the N800 play smoothly at that resolution and bitrate, unless I dropped quite a few frames per second(something I intensely dislike).

Also, why only one pass?

I'm going to give it a try with PocketDivxEncoder. I'll let you know how it fared.
