This little piece of software does a tremendous job. You can see the results at http://claudiamarie.mobi/ I did the first few on my PC and then once I had the setting tweaked the way I wanted it, I installed it on my server and whenever I run a new update I have a script that has handbrake running on the server to make the mobile version and toss it on the mobile site.

As far as pictures go...I just use the same exact ones that I use on the "regular" site. The smart phones seem to resize them to fit their windows just fine.

EDIT: The trailers you see are 720 x 400 on the tour. They are the same trailers I use on both the regular and mobile sites.
it does any other popular web formats? i'm doing all formats on my computer but if server side software can do as good a job it would be a big work saver. i just never saw any of these CMS's that do server side transcoding produce the same quality that software like Cleaner and Sorensen gets.
