The other day someone, somewhere, on one of the 80 blogs I follow, blogged about a freeware iPod Video converter for Mac that's much faster that Quicktime but I lost the link. Anybody know what that is? Quicktime takes for-freaking-ever. Thanks.
UPDATE: It's iSquint. Up to 5 times faster conversions to .m4v

Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but I used MoviesForMyPod the other day and it worked pretty well (little slow, but pretty well).

For DVD's, Handbrake is pretty speedy/easy to use/free:

I actually think that the best one is Mpeg Streamclip. 1.5.1 has a big handy "ipod" button in the export mp4 window. does the best looking, smallest h.264 encodes.

Unfortunetly, these converters are all for the hallowed Mac users. Any tips for conversion for the layman Windows user?

For the moment I use KarpiSoft iPod Video Converter to convert all my videos for the iPod.
