Hi I just gave 0.55 a try with my smv-video-only Sylvania SMPK2066.

Many fruitless attempts to get the many proprietary converters working in wine. GUI pops up, but convert button always crashes it.

I finally stumbed across this thread after some google-search-kung-fu.

I tried yurac's program, the GUI, and it works great! Videos convert fast, decent file sizes, and they work on the player. Also, the GUI is very nice, better than the proprietary GUIs.

Paremeters I used for the Sylvania SMPK2066 player were:
Geometry 128x128
Framerate 10
Tile factor 5
Rotate degree 0
Image quality 41

Thanks yurac, and thanks GregorR of course for cracking the format.

One thing I wanted to point out, yurac, is if the file name or path contains spaces, the GUI will not work. I think this could be fixed by passing the path and file name to smv_encode with the path and filename surrounded by double quotes.
Example: smv_encode -b -g 128x128 -f 10 -n 5 -r -1 -q 41 "/home/username/Some File.mpg"


Great work, and thanks again.
