Better quality? H.264 I'm not sure about battery life. Encode at 320x240 and save your source material.

Mark is right. H.264 provides far better quality and at lower file sizes. I use Handbrake as well, but have really fallen in love with an application called Podner. http://www.spla…

The iPod can display H.264 only up to 320x240 anyways. If you use Handbrake, make sure you keep your bitrates below 768 Kbps, and use the Baseline (not Main) profile. If you use a …
