I noticed some of you wanting information on converting video that you may have for use on the DI. Personally I have been using Handbrake as it is free and open source. It also supports queue and batch jobs so you can set up multiple conversions and let it run overnight.
I have done some test and I will post a trailer for those that want to do a comparison of Handbrake trans-coding vs other methods. I am aware of other methods like doubleTwist but from my experience they aren't up to par (i.e. audio/video sync issues).
All tips and suggestions related to trans-coding videos for the Incredible are welcome. But please keep it civilized and cordial. TY.
Note: For best results file size should be under 2GB!
