You use MpegPlayer. You have to re-encode your videos to MPEG-1 or 2. See

for directions. I recommend WinFF as people find it easiest and most reliable.

You may might will experience problems if you try to watch videos on you ipod mini
it's a grayscale screen which supports only 4 shades of grey, as far as i know
the result will be horrible

While the LCD itself only supports 4 colors (black, white and two shades of grey) the greyscale library allows much more "colors". I tried Elephants Dream on my Mini and the result is quite nice -- don't expect it to be comparable to a color display though.

Btw, even on m:robe100 (which doesn't even have greyscales) you can actually watch the video. I wouldn't want it for serious watching though.
