[ale] Need help from video junkies...transcode and iMovie '09

[scott]

look at a program called Handbrake.  it runs on the Mac, Windows and  
Linux.  Linux is CLI and can be scripted.  I use it on Mac and Linux  
CLI all the time.  It works wonders.  Is it the fastest tool on the  
planet?  probably not but it produces good output as long as the input  
is good.

Back at BarCampATL I did a talk about using it to get video to your  
iPod/iPhone.  Let me digg up the link to the preso for you.  I use it  
to encode my DVDs to go onto my mythtv box (which I also copy them to  
my laptops to watch on the road) with no issues.
