Mpeg4 Conversion Rate in Zune Software

[Groux]

I've downloaded some videos from Podtropolis on BitTorrent (I know, shame on me) and they are all in .mp4 format... I've noticed that that the Zune software takes forever and a day to convert the files and sync them, taking up to 45 minutes per 22 minute episode of the Family Guy... and it literally takes days to upload five seasons of the show to the Zune. My question is, does anyone know of a way to improve this conversion time or of a 3rd party tool that can convert mp4 to wmv quickly? I run a 3GHz P4 with 1GB of RAM and 10K RPM drives, so I know it isn't my machine slowing it down.

Thanks in advance!

Zune took forever for me, so I ended up buying a conversion tool. I went with one made by Cucusoft. The only reason I got that one was because I found it online for $20. It seems to work pretty good and is (to me at least), pretty fast. I ripped/converted a 1 hour and 45 minute dvd tonight in around 45 minutes. Took like 10 seconds for it to sync on the Zune once it was converted.

Hope that helps.
