Encoding Video to 640 x 480
Has anyone figured out how to encode their own video to 640 x 480 resolution yet?
This appears to be the most overlooked killer feature out of everything Apple released last Tuesday.
Am I the only one who cares how awesome this is? Now I just want to get my stuff (Divx and DVD's) onto this format asap. But how?

Couldn't you encode your own stuff that way previously? The only difference now is that iTunes-purchased videos are encoded at that resolution.
My point exactly.
It's my understanding the iPod wasn't able to do this 640x480 resolution before the new firmware update.
So how are you all doing your encoing for the iPod now at this higher resolution? Because I'm using Videora and still encoding at the lower 320x176 widescreen resolution. But I want to use the higher resolution since I'm always using my iPod for watching videos on my TV. And I want to start backing up some of my DVD's to a nice portable format. I've tried videora at higher custom settings but it doesn't work. So I'm looking for a solution.
and thats from an ibook with a shitty 32 meg video card.
as many others have said,buy with confidence... at a gig and change for each movie its easy to gauge what size hard drive to go out and buy,and besides the qaulity has doubled with t.v. shows in less than a year, you think they arent going to continue the trend? hell yeah they will,some people at the event were able to get inside they itvs setting and it will upscale/output any incoming signal to 1080P yes you heard that right!
apple is going to do what they do best,settle format wars and technology dust,they did it with music in relation to expensive ass disks record company greed and piracy,they will do the same with hd and blue ray by giving us a way to have virtual blue ray through upscaling of our current material signals you think apple isnt aware that that is were things are headed "watch it happen" sony is doing it with thier tv boxes,you think apple doesnt know?
btw i have seen personally terminator 2 playing on two identical blue ray sets one with a regular dvd signal upscaled using and upscaler and one with straight blue ray disk signal.
guess what folks they were damned near identical!!! very very very close!
the blue ray signal had a little more color saturation thats about it.
I for one cant wait for Itv or Itube whatever it may be called. i think apple is gonna do it again................. just like they did with the ipod
