Mac tool for Windows Media 9 to iPhone?
Anyone know of a free Mac tool for converting Windows Media 9 video to iPhone (MPEG4 or H.264)? Flip4Mac plays just about anything fine, but it inserts a watermark when you convert to either video format the iPhone can use. I'm trying one of Compressor's iPhone video presets (640x480 H.264) and it's looking like four hours to convert a 30 minute clip. There's got to be something better.
Before anyone says search, I spent a more than half an hour going through search results. The only things I found were either paid products or people who don't have a clue what the difference is between video formats and video wrapper file formats.

and to add to this thread, the latest Handbrakes are very useful, basically the defacto for converting video on mac.

while we're on the subject what do you mac guys use to decrypt (deCSS) your dvds before using handbrake? I hear the early versions of handbrake had the ability to decrypt dvds but now cannot.

From the Handbrake front page @ http://handbrake.fr/
It's the only reason I have VLC installed on my Macs. I'm apparently one of the ten people on Earth that doesn't like VLC.
No more internal DVD decryption
Yeah, we know, no one reading this is going "Oh wow, no more DVD decryption--what a great new feature!" but...deal.
HandBrake will dynamically load VLC's copy of libdvdcss if you have it in your Applications folder in Mac OS X, and if you're on Linux, and you want to live on the wild side, you can install libdvdcss on your system and get the same effect.
Translation of the last paragraph from nerdese:
We're not about to stop you from choosing to decrypt DVDs. If you're on a Mac, and you have VLC 0.9.x installed, you won't even notice the internal capability's gone. If you're on Linux, all you have to do is install a library.

so if I install VLC player then handbrake will still decrypt DVDs?
I'm not a huge fan of VLC it's interface could be better and I can't seem to get it to upscale the video when I put it full screen. If I play an .264 in WMP in W7 it looks as it should but in VLC the same video is pixellated and looks like it was just zoomed in on instead of upscaled. It looks like ass.
