My G/F has a Sumsung E100 pocket media player. Whilst this supports a nice range of audio formats including Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC the video capabilities seem rather restrictive - MPEG4 (in an AVI container) or VMV9.
I have an MPEG2 transport stream that I'd like to be able to put on that player which means converting it to one of those two supported formats. Does anyone have any recommendations of software to do this?
TiA, Steve.

Mencoder or ffmpeg.
Mencoder is hugely versatile, and hugely complex. The manual is probably one of the longest on the planet, but it bears reading if you really want to get into video transcoding.
For one off conversions though, ffmpeg is excellent. The command line is pretty straightforward, but there are also some excellent GUI front ends you could consider. My favourite is (or was until Ubuntu 8.10 broke it - I'm still fixing it) movic (movic.ir) but winff (http://www.biggmatt.com/winff/) comes a close second and is now in Deboan and Ubuntu repositories.
The advantage of the the GUI approach is that they come with preset command line options for many most of the popular conversions.
