Thanks, Chris. Your blog has the best conversion script I've found (I've tried 3 others). This is the 1st to show good resolution, good audio sync and good framerate! Your script copies the files to your flash disk. I was very successful with copying the file over and playing it from there. But, I'd like to be able to play the files without copying them, so I can just stream whatever file I want to watch. My use case for this is cooking shows. I want to fast forward to that section where Alton Brown shows some piece of trickery that I can't seem to master. I could stream from a web page, but attempting to fast-forward gave me a "Can not seek stream" pop-up. So, I'm looking into streaming media servers. Do you have any suggestions?
