Miro updates Internet TV app to version 3, launches Video Converter
On top of the upgrade to Miro itself, there's also a new Video Converter app, aimed at letting you convert videos to an open format. By "open format," Miro means Ogg Theora video, but you can also specify several other formats of your choice. Miro Video Converter can also optimize video for your favorite mobile device, whether it's an Android phone, an iPhone, or a PSP. The interface is simple and easy to use, so it's especially worth a look if you're new to video conversion.

I'm looking for a dead simple application which given 1 or more video files will convert all of them automatically into a format suitable for my iPod and upload them into iTunes.
Bonus points if it recognises series and episode numbers within the titles and sets those correctly within iTunes too.
Is there anything out there that does that?
The closest I've found is Videora but it's riddled with adverts, has a horrible user interface and often produces videos which throw up an "invalid atom" error in Quicktime (and so cannot be loaded into iTunes).

On Mac, I use Vuze to download torrents, and then I drag the file into the "Devices" area. It asks me what I want to convert to (iPhone, iPod, Xbox360, PS3, etc., already preset for file format and bitrate), and if it is and iPhone or iPod, it automatically adds it to the iTunes library under Movies.
As far as title goes...I just downloaded the torrent for all of Jersey Shore and it added them all to iTunes with the s01e01 type of deal, so that wasn't too bad.
Not sure about Windows though...I would imagine Vuze also has something similar in the Windows version.

Just tried this program for converting from Divx to mp4 for my droid. It's pretty nice.

Is there a Linux version of the Video Converter app coming soon? I only see Win/Mac verisons.
