| I personally just dont like iTunes or Quicktime. I have no use for iTunes except to get TR which I can get from Yahoo podcasts or direct from the site. And quicktime installs with an agent that always runs and does not have an option to disable, so you have to play wiht the registry or something (I forget exactly what I did when I had it).
I use VLC player (free) to watch the videos, but it will also convert. I played with it a little and got the video to play on my PocketPC, but didnt figure out the right audio format yet. There are some other free converters out there but I noticed that most require Quicktime or are adware. |
