Slysoft products work GREAT on anything other than Microsoft products...they've only JUST recently added a WMV export option. It works great for me, but it took them a long time to get it working properly because the WMV encoder is such a piece of crap - every media developer I talk with curses at it. But, that said, it's working now. They haven't enabled it with device profiles yet - so you can select WMV export and set it to 320 x 240 and select a bit rate, but they don't yet have a Pocket PC profile that will select WMV and set it for you.
The Zune 2 will support h.264 natively on the device without the need for transcoding, so I'm sure Slysoft will have support for it quite quickly.
As Damion said, the products are very simple to use, and the trials are full-featured, so the best thing to do is just download the demos and take 'em for a spin.
