Video – Palm Developer Center

Try the above. It details exactly what type of video+audio combinations can be used by the Palm Pre. I've been using VLC to transcode and stream divx to my Pre and it's been working wonderfully so far - high quality to boot. Streaming is another option if you don't want to go through the song and dance of converting and copying to the pre every time you want to watch a video.

Try handbrake instead - in my experience it's much easier to use and the results are very good.

This is from the streaming wizard so I'm not sure how it translates to conversion:

Encapsulation: MP4/MOV
Video Codec: MPEG-4
Video Bitrate: 512 or 768
Frame Rate: 30fps (or less)
Resolution: 640x480 (or less)
Audio Codec: MPEG Audio
Audio Bitrate: 48 kb/s
Audio Channels: 2
Sample Rate: 22050

Hope that helps. I've tried using H.264 and H.263 Video Codecs as well as other audio codecs with mixed results.
