Anyone have a working conversion setup for the new Archos 605 (800x480)? If not, can someone point me in the direction of instructions to make one?  I've been using the Export to IPod with Avivo and love the speed at which it converts.  If I could figure out how to modify that to output the right format, I'd be in good shape.  TIA.

I've got one working for the 704 Wifi...same screen resolution.  I've been using Mencoder to convert to a 720x480 XVID after finding and cutting out all commercials.  Not sure if that would meet your needs on the speed front (probably around 45 minutes).  

 I'll try to tinker with Avivo tonight and see if I can get it to work. Does anyone know offhand how Avivo handles corrupt video or audio (ie a reception issue in the middle of a show?)

 

 

 

Converting with Avivo uses my X1950XTX to do the video conversion processing and the whole process for an hour long show takes about 10 minutes. That's why I'm hoping to be able to get this working with Avivo! :)

AVIVO is very good.  The only downside that I'm aware of is that it's DirectShow based, so sometimes it's hard to get working properly.
