Can anyone recommend a better way of exporting recordings to an iPod touch?<br>
I use mythrename+handbrake, but would like to make this as simple as possible for the wife...<br>
<br>
I've tried Mythexport with limited success, but that might be due to ffmpeg.<br>

Like the OP, I also use ffmpeg, in a user job, thusly:<br>
<br>
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "%DIR%/%FILE%" -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200kb -g 300 -ab 192 -s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 "/video/ipod/%TITLE%-%SUBTITLE%.mp4"<br>
<br>
You just navigate to the recording you want (via myth) and have it processes the job. I have it output to a directory that is accessible<br>
via http so then she can just hit the web site and start watching. She<br>
doesn't have to sync anything this way.<br><font color="#888888">
