</div></div>If you are using ubuntu ,look into mythexport..It works quite well and<br>
has a web interface..<br>

<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I must say that Handbrake-CLI does a much better job then nuvexport for ipod/iphone transcoding, I find the audio in the nuvexport created files has a tinny overtone and the quality is very blocky.<br>
