What conversions you are most interested in: DivX and WMV
Portable devices: None. I use MCEBuddy to shrink shows for archival purposes of shows I want to save for later (the wife keeps EVERY episode of Dog Whisperer!), not portable devices.
...also, I'm a professional software tester by trade with 20 years experience... IE: You'll get GOOD reproducible bugs when I report any. :)
When the last moment comes, and my life flashes before my eyes... it's going to be one HELL of a show!
