How to get video from your linux system onto your Cowon U3
I got most of this information from the iAudio iaudiophile.net forum; I had to add the bit about -afm ffmpeg though.

mencoder name_of_file.avi -quiet -oac pcm -ovc xvid -ofps 15 -vf scale=160:-2 -xvidencopts pass=1:vhq=4:me_quality=4:max_bframes=0 -afm ffmpeg -o /dev/null && mencoder name_of_file.avi -quiet -oac pcm -ovc xvid -ofps 15 -vf scale=160:-2 -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=256:vhq=4:me_quality=4:max_bframes=0 -afm ffmpeg -o iAudio_name_of_file.avi

This is a double pass encode routine. The -afm ffmpeg is necessary to get the sound working correctly--or at least is was for me using the mencoder that comes standard with ubuntu 7.10

It is possible to do this with a single pass like this:

mencoder name_of_file.avi -quiet -oac pcm -ovc xvid -ofps 15 -vf scale=160:-2 -xvidencopts pass=1:vhq=4:me_quality=4:max_bframes=0 -afm ffmpeg -o iAudio_name_of_file.avi

Either one will work, although I have read that a double pass is better--don't know why. YMMV
