I've recently begun using Handbrake (0.9.2) along with DVD Shring (3.2) both of which seem to work fine. The only problem I have is that I can't seem to get them to play on my Zune (30Gb) 1st gen. I have the latest firmware for the Zune software 2.5 and oddly, the software SWEARS that the converted file is on my Zune.

I've watched both programs do their thing in ripping and converting DVD video info into MP4 or M4V, which the Zune software DOES convert before it synchronizes, but for some reason, the player doesn't show me the videos. No screen grabs, no images, no references to the file whatsoever. I can get the converted movies to play on the Zune software player, but that's it.

Within HandBrake I've used the following settings:

Preset: Normal
Format: MP4
Video Setting: change from 1500 to 2000 (just 'cuz I'm a quality whore)
Audio: AAC

All other settings are left as default. But the things just don't show up on my Zune. I don't get it. I thought maybe if I just turned off the Zune for awhile, I've deleted my original video_TS files and re-encoded the DVD's and still nothing. Anyone with more information PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP!

Greatly appreciated in advance.
