Ok, so the new iPod does video… which is great… but only H.264 and MPEG-4 encoded streams – Which sucks. Transcoding video to the correct format is a real pain in the butt.

Its funny – Tivo is such a great product, but they can’t get the business part of it figure out… now they’re adding DRM and some other stupid “auto-delete” feature… its like they WANT to fail… TiVo 7.2 OS adds content protection, blocks transfers, and auto-deletes some shows
