No doubt, I mean, seriously -- how long must we be forced to  
wait!  ;-)  Kidding aside, I would love to see this too - although I  
can't see myself getting a video iPod for sometime (I "just" got my  
photo - which I'm still thrilled about - and probably getting a nano  
for my gf first).

Well, perhaps. I'm *very* happy to have nuvexport (*very*), but to be  
honest I not-so-secretly yearn for the day when we can *easily*  
transcode programs with nothing more than a remote control (*sigh*).

If I were to have a video iPod, I would want to be able to mark  
specific recordings (such as "The Daily Show") to be transcoded with  
the appropriate settings and automatically sync'd to my iPod the next  
time it is connected. It would probably be fine if the actual syncing  
occurred through iTunes, as that is already used for syncing my  
music, podcasts, contacts, notes (my "read later" web pages),  
calendar, and photos. Hmmm... come to think of it, that would  
probably bump my priority on the purchase of a video iPod up a few  
notches. ;-)

I think I'll download iTunes 6 now and see if I can figure out how it  
handles video syncing.
