I have been using IpodMe for quick conversions (mostly for the wife’s BlackBerry), but EncodeHD looks like an interesting alternative. EncodeHD is a an application to re-encode all types of video files for use on your home media player or on-the-go device. It aims to provide a simple interface with no fuss, and give you [...]

I posted a method for converting SageTV files to iPod/iPhone compliant files a while back, but a number of the files weren’t converting properly.  I also had problems with mencoder cutting commercials out of the files.  So, I retooled the approach, and I am now getting 100% success, using the approach outlined below.

Mobile Windows Media Player, when launched, defaults to showing the “My [...]
