This script copied in the .gnome2/nautilus-scripts folder can convert your mkv movies in a format suitable for the G1/G2 android device.
it extracts with mkvextract (you must install mkvtools in your system) the subtitles track .srt and then you can have the video .mp4 hardsubbed.
fps setted to 13 and audio rate 128:16000 (all for more speed conversion without loosing quality in a portable device!)
enjoy

self made, this video really shows how…. c’mon!!! it’s my new powerball, more like a rasengan ah?!?, www.nsdball.com with gyro that can produce a torque of 20 kg at the max speed … very very cool, i’m not saying that because i’m affliliate with the site or something, it’s really a cool ball ;)

muscles (hope) and fun.

ps: (ps not like post scriptum but more like a whisper ) i’ll show in the future the step by step results, if there are any. yo.
