I noticed this when clicking through Apollo Pony video podcasts. Only about twenty of almost hundred transfered to my video iPod, because they used different codecs like Sorenson or MPEG1 Muxed. Well, now you can just control-click on the podcast or a selection of videos and choose 'Convert Selection for iPod' from the pop-up menu.
