What is iPodifier?

If you have TiVo, Windows Media Center, SageTV or some other device to capture TV content, iPodifier will automatically grab the content from these sources and put it on your iPod, nicely organized into video playlists. You missed The Daily Show lastnight? It will be on your iPod for the train ride in the morning.

Basically, iPodifier is an application that automates the process of getting videos onto your iPod. Unlike other transcoding software that simple re-encodes the video into an iPod compatible format, iPodifier takes it a few steps further. iPodifier automates the entire process of getting video from any source onto your iPod. iPodifier will automatically:

• Check for new video
• Transcode new video into an iPod compatible format
• Add the transcoded video to iTunes
• Organize videos into video playlists
• Sync your iPod

In addition to automating these basic functions, iPodifier also does the following:

• Accepts video from a wide variety of sources (i.e. TiVo, Bittorrent, SageTV, Windows Media Center)
• Monitors multiple video source directories for new video and adds new videos to the transcoding queue
• Manage quotas for TV shows (i.e. lets you set how many South Park's you want to keep on your iPod)
• Creates a Podcast for any show (comming soon)
• Video preview window allows you to preview any of your source or transcoded iPod videos
