Don't get me into that debate because its a no-win.

Basically, saying "you can't tell the difference" is like me saying "but EVERYONE should use an 8px font on their N900, they CAN read it".

Everyones eyesight is different so claiming "you can't tell the difference" is an oxy***** because I just might be able to. Plus that is before you consider the hassle of transcoding with odd sync issues and the time spent doing it. I know I NEVER watch movies on portable devices, simply because I would not know in advance which movie I might want to watch and so its not transcoded ready for me.
