hey man, follow this link. it tells you how to transcode your mpeg file correctly. http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer
Now i dont know which ipod you have, but my nano plays back mpegs perfectly after being converted. I ripped 40 minutes of Kill Bill vol. 2 and converted it. I sat there and watch all of it. And like Llorean said, theres no sound yet.

Hmm I never knew VLC could encode video, another reason to like it. I just used some random freeware I found on google because I was only having a look at how well it worked. I'm still impressed, the rockbox developers are so detirmined!

Should there be sound when playing the file through VLC on your computer? I used the bat from the wiki, and it worked very nicely to encode the file to m2v, but does that mean there's no sound any place you play it, not just on your ipod???
By the way, it looks great on an ipod photo. Thanks for all the hard work everyone.
soap:
m2v is a MPEG-2 Video elemental stream.
m2a is a MPEG-2 Audio elemental stream.
Mux them together and you have a .mpg audio/video file.

The es{...} stream output chain in VLC is used to separate elementary streams (like Video and Audio like mentioned in the previous post). If you want to have an mpeg2 file with audio + video on your PC, you should use something like --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=600,width=...,height=...,acodec=mpga,ab=96}:std{access=file,mux=ts,url=myfile.ts} but that won't be read by rockbox' mpegplayer.
