I'm certain that it won't make the conversion on your tiger, even after installing latest java, as the mencoder component in it is windows specific. Did the user interface work on your apple?
On the bright side, there exists a version of mencoder for osx as well. Alas, as I don't have a mac, I cannot easily make a version that would do the trick on an apple. I can try to have a look at it tomorrow.
If you feel like playing around with any Mac stuff, I'd be happy to help you test.

divxz:
There is now an osx version that *may* / *might* work if stars are in correct positions and gods willing. So, if you have the interest to test it out, you can do so here:
www.helsinki.fi/~konttori/MediaConverterOSX.zip
Ok, if that isn't working, then I'll try to get access to a mac somehow and test it out there. I've bundled OSX mencoder there, but without a mac, well... No way to be even sure if the mencoder works, let alone be sure if I have modified the call to the encoder in a correct fashion.

Try installing that. I thought the mencoder would be standalone as it is for windows. Perhaps it isn't.
You can download full mencoder from:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...7.sit?download

I'd been planning how to get a media conversion setup running, and lo, you came through for me!
I used it on a short xvid of mine, worked beautifully! Gonna try 'Lost' tomorrow when my 512MB RS-MMC gets here.
Thanks again!

Nice to hear that. If you guys have any ideas on how to improve it, just let me know.

OSX and Windows versions have both now been updated.
New in this release:
- OSX version
- Windows installer
- Minor fixes
Can someone try installing the windows version and confirm that the installer is working?
I just made the installer and I have no clue if it only works on my computer or if it actually works on others computers as well.
Oh, feedback is very welcome!
Special thanks to Mikko Kiesilä and divxz in getting the OSX version up and running!

konttori's Media Converter is working (Windows) but there was (for me) a wrong path in .bat file. After correction OK.
konttori is using in his Converter an adjustable videobitrate but with max 300 kbps. Mpeg1-video which is about 1150 kbps as standard is supported by the 770. There is unfortenately some annoying extra softness on 770 display because all videos (e.g.
352x208) are stretched to 800/600 x 480/360 which make comparisions quite subjective.
Is 300 kbps some kind of practical/theoretical/official max. videobitrate for the 770?

Media converter uses mpeg 4, which nokia 770 can decode at tops 300 kbps.
I got the info from here:
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/VideoEnco...ht=%28video%29
Somebody have used mpeg 1 as well, but then you have to use bigger bitrate to get good results -> bigger filesize -> less videos mmc.
Has anyone tried mpeg 4 with higher bitrate than 300kbps? If so, how have the results been? I'm not much around the computer for the rest of the day, so I can't test now.

Well, the bat files that I mentioned earlier are pretty much the same thing as this, but require a bit of tweaking with a notepad to get them to work. As you can see, this 0.10 version actually uses a bat file (encode.bat) to make the call to mencoder. I should be able to drop the need for the bat file pretty soon. That would also allow me to try to make an osx compatible version of this.
