So the screen is only a 320x240, shame its not more detailed.
Im not sure how to go about encoding I am open to suggestions for the best one. Hearing about the sync problems I would like to use one that works with the software provided with the player.
I was planning to encode in mpeg at 700 video 160 audio, Want to keep file size down, as i have 15gb of music encoded so far and expect about another 8 or so after I do the rest of my collection.
So what do you use to convert you movie files and how do you do it?

I have a couple of different applications that I can use, there is the excellent VirtualDub which will encode the files to alot of different formats (as long as you have the codec installed) but it tends to be a little bit complicated.
There is also Dr Divx from ... well Divx, which isn't too bad, but it uses the latest 5.2.x codec which I have had issues with in the past. Then there is PocketDivx Encoder, which is just awsome, simply point and click and hey presto it's done for you
and then finally there is the iRiver Media Converter, another point and click, which is just easy to work and uses the Divx 5.11 codec (which I prefer myself.. the codec that is). I forgot to add, there is no need to encode the audio at 160, personally I stick with either 96 or 128, anything larger and you are in my opinion wasting disk space (yeah I know, not too much.. but it all adds up in the end).
