I don't know about every zune user, but for me I'm having to convert every format even the small wmv. I just switched to a zune30 last week and every video podcast I watch (rev3 shows, dl.tv, cranky geeks, and other techtv dudes) has to convert before syncing. This takes pretty long and not worth it. Is there a format that works just like the itunes+ipod process? I've tried the ipod versions, quicktime, mpeg, wmv and still converts...

I also have a Zune and I put other videos on it besides Rev3 programing and in the wmv format and it also formats it. I would say it is on Zune's part and not Rev3.

This is a common request and bound to get more common as more people buy Zunes. Can some Zune owner figure out how to import the RSS feeds into the Zune player and post a FAQ about it.

Thanks for the replies. That would be great to put a FAQ for Zune owners. I just thought it was odd that it's not as easy as syncing video like the ipod even with correct format wmv.

There are RSS feeds for the WMV formats. The question is how easy it is to get them into the Zune player. With iTunes is a quick drag and drop.

Yes, but those WMV formats are always converting! My question is why? If they are formatted already, why is not a simple copy like itunes/ipod? I gave up on syncing podcasts to it due to time limits. There's just too many things I notice about the Zune that a user needs to 'live' with. I'm sure it will get better.
