Your problem is the required bitrate. The ffmpeg encoding into MPEG-1 
results in a streaming video that needs more bandwidth then your BT link 
can give. Hence the bad video on the iPaq.

There are two thing you can do:
1) instruct ffmpeg to lower the bitrate that it produces for the MPEG-1, or
2) use another codec that does that for you. Look at the 
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html page if your codec is 
supported on the iPaq port.
