I actually through about this, but setting this up for handhelds seem complicated. Also, noticed that some transcoder aren't fast enough. Right now I am already down converting all my videos to MPEG4 .mp4 files to play it a back. Like I said I think the easiest way is to get handheld to natively handle HD/video files instead of me having to do batch convert every time I download a ton of videos.

Transcoding isn't actually that difficult. You pretty much set it up once and you're done. Much easier than finding a handheld device that can play 1080p video.

What is the point of 1080P video at such a crappy bit rate? It will look worse than 480p does at the same bit rate.

The best from all video I get are at that bitrate. They have 480p version of them and they look much much horrible. Which is why I get the 1080P version even if the bitrate is low. If I can actually get same content in better bitrates I would, but I can't find them.
