I rarely put much video content onto my Zune because the transcoding takes so long - and we're talking SD content, not HD.

One unanswered question in all this is how much space the Zune HD will have. HD content is certainly expensive sizewise. A 16GB Zune HD probably wouldn't be so great in this regard. I'd love to see, say, 32GB or 64GB.
