Using Other Conversion Software
While the included software converts numerous formats to the format required by
the player, there may be some it cannot convert. Regardless of what conversion
software you use, be sure to convert your video media to a supported format at a
320x240 resolution. (See "Technical Specifications" in this manual for a list of
supported formats.)

Converting Video in Linux
While the player does not come with
conversion software for Linux, there
are several free, open source
programs available in Linux that can
do the necessary transcoding. The
three most powerful command line
encoders are mencoder, ffmpeg. and
transcode. To make things easier,
you can use one of the many
available front-ends, although the
simplest may be avidemux (pictured).
