Default video wackiness...file format not supported

hey all,

don't know how widely this issue is happening, but are others having dramas playing what should be ok video files on their 2.0.1 iPhone/touch's?

I usually record stuff with my eyetv, dump it as an MPEG file then use handbrake to convert it to what I want. been doing this fine for a while now. suddenly my phone doesn't like the files hbrake is putting out (iphone preset, but dropped down to 800kbps - I leave the aspect and size as determined a/magically)

weird thing is I thought I would try on my 4G iPod, and no problem! plays iTunes no problem, but iPhone doesn't want to know about it and refuses to play. is this 2.0.1? or is there some known foible in the way the phone handles video?

input welcome
