Discussing Video Conversion with Simon Aarons

I recently had an audio-only discussion/podcast with Simon Aarons, creator of the Brovicon Video Converter. We discussed how the software works, why it's so helpful that he made a graphical front-end to existing software...and just chatted about video conversion. If you've ever wanted to convert video you've recorded or ripped, this will most likely interest you - "Just slide up a chair" and come hang out while we chat. If video conversion isn't your thing at all, this one probably isn't for you ;p

Simon and I discussed a using AVIDemux to cut video files at keyframes without re-rendering, as well as a specific model of "DVD recorder" that does a great job with (broadcast) analog video. Here's links to both:
