Well, after it was visualHub, it became FilmRedux and the source for that, although abandoned is here: <http://transcoderredux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/transcoderredux/FilmR edux/> -- Woody www.alienrat.com

I downloaded and installed he correct version and we were away. ;-) As it happened he'd previously ripped the DVD's to ISO files but couldn't see how to get them into iPod friendly format. I used the MS ISO mounter thing and Handbrake to do the conversion (in we fact set up a little queue of stuff to do (well, 3 things). We copied the finished mp4 to iTunes and from there onto the iPod and it played ok. I asked him how many videos could you watch on one charge and he suggested about 1? Is that right or does he need a new battery? Laddo also has a PSP and said the battery is much better on that. Time for an iPad methinks (and I can see them getting him one). ;-) Cheers, T i m

My iPod 5th gen got about two-to-three hours of life when watching video, so that seems about right.
