Video for iPodLinux

[rsvp]

Is anyone running Linux on their iPod. It is possible to play video on iPods other than the iPod Video. I was wondering whether video could be encoded using ffmpegX

The instructions from http://ipodlinux.org/Video_Player#Video_Conversion state that:

Videos must be first converted to uncompressed, 24-bit .avi files at the iPod's screen resolution
And then you use this command...
$ mencoder -ovc raw -ofps 15 -oac pcm -vf scale=220:-2,expand=220:176,format=bgr16 in.avi -o out.avi

I have to admit to not playing with the custom settings too often in ffmpegX. Any pointers?
