I've stumbled upon the iriverter, a one click solution for transcoding files for portable devices (well, iriver's), based around mencoder. And this got me thinking.
Why didn't we make something like this in the first place?
I doubt it would be terribly hard to program, now that somebody's already done most of the work, and would make the GP2X much more accessible to the less technically inclined - this was the main reason why several people I know didn't bother getting a GP2X (Well, that and the awful UI, poor battery life, and abysmal joystick.).
EDIT: Come to think of it, this topic would be more appropriate in Cool Ideas or Dev Talk. Sorry D:
