Bookmarked.  Thanks.  Much reading to do.

I did find 
    http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
which is a free Windows program for converting between Video/Audio
alphabet soup.  It works.  I converted .mpg to .mp4 (H.264), and it
played very well on iPod.  25fps was a little jerky, but 30fps was very
smooth.

But, my Windows 2003 box is P2/400MHz, and it's painfully SLOW.  I'm
hoping to do the conversion on much faster Linux box, and just copy it
over to Windows box.
