Have you ever ripped a DVD for desktop/home theatre playback, say 720 x 480 at 2000 kbps, and then wanted to take that movie on your iPod or other portable device? You'd have to transcode it. Even with SD content, the ability to just take that same file and plunk it on your player without having to transcode...that's powerful stuff, at least for me. I rarely put much video content onto my Zune because the transcoding takes so long - and we're talking SD content, not HD.
