VideoToiPod

This is an automator action using ffmpeg to encode the video passed as input into an mp4.h264 format compatible with iTunes and iPod videos.

Just provide video files (from a finder actions, etc...) and the new mp4 files will be created. This might take a while as the video encoding is long. You can pass all the format supported by FFmpeg (including flv, real media, etc.. etc..).

It mainly puts together the ffmpeg decoder/encoder from: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
with tweaking of the parameters described here:
http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/ipod-video-guide/
to create an easy to use Automator action.
