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 application was designed to automate the process of getting videos onto your iPod.Unlike other transcoding software that simple reencodes 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


iPodifier will do more than simply transcode your video into an iPod compatible format iPodifier will also:
· Monitor directories for new video
· Automatically transcode new video to iPod format
· Add transcoded video to iTunes
· Organize all video added to iTunes into playlists
· Sync your iPod when new video is added to iTunes
· Control which TV shows make it to your iPods


Here are some key features of "iPodifier":
