Bloggernoob, We use iSquint for the Mac. Does the job pretty fast, but we queue up the movies to convert overnight anyway.

"Bloggernoob: If you encode with H.264, a 700mb Avi turns into about 200mb and the quality is great. So that’s about 80 movies"

i think i'll check out the encoder. only thing tho. how long does it take to encode. i hate the lenghty wait. almost not worth getting any type of pmp.

i used to own five pairs of vans back when i was a skaterboy. as far as the ipod. i really think its a waste of money. only 16 gigs. can't even fit 20 movies. id rather buy the new asus 7 inch laptop with my $400 and a cheap sansa

I am still saving for a Mac which you have already own it proudly. I do have an iPod Nano but it is a bit outdated so a Touch will be something great to be added to my inventory as well! :mrgreen:

The Vans are awesome! I have a pair now. :smile: I have to agree laces are a pain.

Who needs laces? I wear flip flops to work.

I love my iPod Touch. The 16GB limitation doesn't matter to me either since my music fits on it fine. The problem is all the video podcasts and other videos I watch don't always fit. I have about 3GB free on mine for video. For you readers, I was one of the lucky winners from the Million Euro Wiki.

Love the Vans, could careless about the apple thing.
I hope you got real skater vans from a distributor (like a skate shop) and not the thin, cheap ones sold at retail stores. There really is a difference, and the Vans company knows this. They sell the cheap ones for posing kids for fashion, and the true ones to real skaters who need the pillow.

no laces are great. nice shoes!

I agree with Cow on the no laces. Living in Japan where unless you're outside it's a predominantly shoes off country it's a ball ached to be doing up and undoing shoes all day.

I have also just got myself a shiny new iPod touch (getting ready to give one away on MEW :wink: ) and successfully jail-broken it and added iPhone Apps. Check out my blog for working instructions :twisted: also don't forget to add "http://repo.us.to" to the installer sources to make all the iPhone Apps easy to install.

Agreed, laces are overrated, but I still stick with them for no reason :)

Anyways, you could've asked me to get you a iPhone here in US and I could've shipped it to you :)

bmunch: They're Vans and Can't Get Rich, laces are overrated :D

Shiny.

Can't say I agree with your choice in footwear though. Laces > no laces.

That's a nice pair of shoes...What brand is it?

Wow, buying a iTouch because you can't get a iPhone...can't you import from US or something?
