Well, I've been having fun with ffmpegx. It's a very powerful program with rather cryptic interface that converts tons of different video format into other ones.
Recently, I've figured out how to convert downloaded movies into SVCD which is more convenient for watching, cuz we can just pop it into the TV. The big titles I like to keep in DVD format for the big screen, but there's lot of "secondary" movies that I can easily be happy with at SVCD quality. They look fine on the TV.
I learned that I have to becareful about making sure the source file is on the system hard drive and not one of my larger capacity, storage drives. I also haven't been able to sucessfully convert a PAL DVD into a format that I can use on the PSP. I ripped the DVD into a VOB and then used ffmpegx to convert it into a PSP compatible format. It worked great, but the aspect ratio was screwed up. I'll definitely try again.
