What are the best codec/compression settings to use for Zune video that won't cause recompression during sync? I've tried evaluation versions of some of the Zune video conversion programs out there and, while the new files translated fine and are playable from Windows, when synced to the Zune they always seem to require reconversion (always see the the 'converting...' message during sync) and many times fail the reconversion process.

Certainly, there is a very specific set of compression parameters that won't cause the Zune to have to reconvert again, correct?

Also, let me know if there one specific package that can easily convert most video formats to Zune video without requiring reconversion in the Zune software.
