I'm using FUPPES (http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/) to stream audio/video from my Ubuntu box to my N800. I use Media Converter (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mediaconverter/) for my videos, since I've found it works the best for me.

To install xvidcap on Kubuntu/Ubuntu Feisty I did:

apt-get install libxml-dom-perl libxml2 libxml2-dev debhelper libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev liblame-dev ffmpeg libxml-parser-perl scrollkeeper libxmu-dev


wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xvidcap/xvidcap-1.1.5rc1.tar.gz

tar -zxvf xvidcap-1.1.5rc1.tar.gz

cd xvidcap-1.1.5rc1

./configure

make

make install

(NOTE: I had to comment out InputDevice sections with Wacom drivers in xorg.conf and references to those identifiers in ServerLayout Section)
