Code:
ffmpeg -i $line -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -s 320x240 -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -vpre ipod320 -b 768k -bt 768k -threads 0 -f ipod -metadata title="$line" $line.mp4 < /dev/null
That's the line, which I use in my script. It works just fine with xvid/divx files, but doesn't work with any of the MKV files.

While ffmpeg is great, can I recommend using Handbrake?

I've yet to have an converting to ipod compatible formats.

Code:

HandBrakeCLI  -Z "iPhone & iPod Touch" -i input.mkv -o output.mp4


Ebuild is here. Emerge without the gtk flag if you only need it to work via whatever script you're using.
