Converting videos for iPod touch using Handbrake

I use Handbrake because:

1. It can convert DVD, flv, avi, m4v, mp4, etc.
   
2. It has an iPhone & iPod Touch preset.
   
3. It supports multiple CPU cores, so conversions are quick (if you have multiple cores :)
   

After conversion, copy files to the iPod.

Method 1

Use gtkpod to copy / sync. Copying a 40 MB file took about 1 minute.

Method 2 (preferred)

Copy files to the iPod using Nautilus and and copy the videos to the Videos folder. Copying a 40 MB file took about 10 seconds.

The only downside to using Nautilus to copy the videos is that they don't show up in the Movie Player! So, I use iFile to locate and open the videos. Click Video Player when it asks how you want to open the file.
