True that, and I thank vbrilon and his team in Nokia for working hard on getting the app right.

Their UI is nicer, but if I were to drag a bunch of videos for encoding, the third one in the queue will always choke and it would just say 'Processing' with no progress even after one night (hence a wasted night of encoding).

While N800VC appears to look less user-friendly at first glance, here's what I can do with it:

1. drag and drop a file into the interface and preview the output before i chuck it into the queue for encoding

2. designate an output folder -- my N800 is usually connected to my desktop overnight and I designate my video folder as the output directory. The next morning, I just disconnect my N800 and get on the road, knowing fully well that the files are in there.

3. A bunch of BMW Films in WMV format not only choked on the Nokia software, but came out all choppy and I ended up encoding the whole lot in the N800 Video Convert software, and that turned out perfect (if anyone wants them, just let me know - each converted video is around 30 to 40 MB in size)

If anyone's willing to run a quick test, I would like to test the output file size using Nokia's Internet Tablet Video Converter vs the N800 Video Convert using a control file. This way, we can see if the Nokia software has a better encoding. I've been told that the more compression there is in the file, the more CPU power is needed to playback the file, and this translated to reduced battery life. This is something worth exploring further, for those who are looking to find a better balance between battery life and playback quality.
