Back when I was trying to playback bbc iplayer content (h264
480x272 + aac) i could only get decent playback by playing in b&w
using "mplayer -lavdopts gray" possibly combined with some of the other
switches mentioned above. not ideal but watchable.

This may sound weird, but try to avoid 2 pass encodings. With 2 pass, the more action packed scenes get more bitrate, and they cause more dropped frames. At least if (like me) you prefer artifacts to dropped frames.

I'm getting good results (without too much lavdopts magic) from about 240x240 anamorphic at 250kbps. That's pretty smooth (if you can live with the resolution) except in the most intensive scenes. More resolution or bitrate lowers the fluidity pretty quickly

I've found recoding to the n800 dropping frame-rate to 15fps doesn't make a massive difference to perceived quality but does decrease file size and reduce data rate considerably! Zooming a 400x240 to full (wide)screen at 15fps works pretty well for me.

I seem to be getting good results with this configuration (in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf) for various DIVX and XVID files:
Code:
ao=gst,sdl
vo=omapfb,xv,sdl
noframedrop=yes
afm=dspmp3,libmad
noslices=true
monitorpixelaspect=1
fs=yes
cache=8192
font=/usr/share/fonts/SwaRR4nh.ttf
subfont-text-scale=3
menu=yes
sws=0
zoom=true
double=yes
lavdopts=lowres=1,600
