Because it's RCA, and a piece of electronics is more than just its feature list. There are other DPA manufacturers I'd be willing to trust, but RCA isn't one of them.

My comp just has regular old USB ports... am I gonna have to buy a USB2 card if I get this thing?

You can still sync the songs on USB 1.1, it'll just be slower. Basically a gig every 20 minutes.

At least they're only ~$10 at this point.

I'm probably way behind and everything, but something I found a couple weeks ago that might help those of you with one of these: Videora for iPod. It automatically encodes whatever video file you toss into it into iPod format, with different settings for audio and video quality as well as cropping and ratio formats. I used it to toss Advent Children onto the iPod at my job and it did a beautiful job, much easier then trying to set up Tmpgenc or whatever.

A friend of mine is planning to build a Linux web server that will not only act as a DVR, but will also encode the recordings into the iPod Video format and syndicate those recordings into an iTunes format so that his girlfriend can connect to iTunes and download the shows she recorded on the DVR onto her iPod Video. I was hoping the Videora program would help my friend, but I see it's a Windows-only application. Oh well.

I'll let you guys know if he's successful in his attempt.

I'm not sure if this will help, but I came across Handbrake during my initial search for an encoder, which is a DVD->mpeg4 ripper/encoder that works on Mac and Linux (but not Windows, so I haven't tried it yet). I have no clue about DVR compression though.

This set of posts might help your friend if he does have a use for Handbrake.
