Here is a link to a page for Cresho's Zaurus Video:
http://home.earthlink.net/~cresho/

He has both Linux and Windows desktop encoding info, not sure which
you need.  

Linux encoding:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/%7Ehensley/zaurus/

Additional comments for above page:

 The 2 pass encoding can improve the quality,
 both lavc ( ffmpeg, I prefer it ) and divx supports 2 pass mode.
 You can add vpass=<1-2> option, like


 mencoder dvd://1 -srate 24000 -vop scale=320:240 -o
office_space.avi \                 -oac mp3lame -lameopts
preset=15:mode=3 -ovc lavc \                -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=150:vpass=1 -ofps 15 -sws 2

 and after

 mencoder dvd://1 -srate 24000 -vop scale=320:240 -o
office_space.avi \                 -oac mp3lame -lameopts
preset=15:mode=3 -ovc lavc \                -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=150:vpass=2 -ofps 15 -sws 2

Have fun!
