ipod touch or creative zen video conversion

[pschweig]

Hi

Does anybody use sage's conversion feature to convert video to play in either of the above mp3 players.

If so, was it easy to transfer? What's the quality like?

thanks

I use it to convert video for my Zen Vision-W. I had to slightly modify one of the existing command lines but it was pretty easy and works amazingly well.

If you do a search thru theses forums you should be able to find my previous post where I had the entire command line.

BCJenkins: are you using yours for just conversion and playback on your Touch/iPhone or do you also use it for general playback? I opted for a 640 width on mine as it had the greatest commonality across the ipod line, and I thought would be good better for HD playback. I notice you did a lot of tuning on your profiles. How are are they for playback on the HD Extender or normal client?

Just used for iPod Touch and sync with iTunes and the RSS feed from the webserver. My wife and I aren't archivers, so we delete after we watch.
