Right! Internet Tablet Video Converter, recently killed just like Nokia Internet Call Invitation, the Video Center Catalogue etc., was a good step in the right direction:
There should be one application to "copy your files to the tablet" that also optimizes them for the devices (video, but also audio files, even images... large 8MP-pictures right from your camera maybe look just as good on the tablet if resized to 800x480).

And it should be an application for (*sigh*) Windows, because this is what most people have.

As long as I can still experiment with mencoder-settings to get even better results for videos or copy the original, unchanged photo over via the normal file manager, why not?
The trick will be to present this as the "Copy to Tablet"-application, rather than the "re-encode video"-application.
