I've got videos I want to encode to put on the zune. Have the encoding software (using Expression Encoder), but I'm not sure about what I should transcode to.

I used the settings built into EE for the Zune, but the sync software still shows these videos are being converted before sync.

I already have to get these videos into an acceptable format, so encoding twice is a waste of time and space.

What I'm looking for is a video codec, audio codec, bitrate, WxH, and anything else I need to encode a video so it goes straight from my disk onto my Zune without re-encoding.
