In case you missed it, Apple yesterday announced a ipod with video capability (320 x 240 30fps h.264 and mpeg-4 supported).
More info here:

Apple already has released a way to buy music videos and various tv-shows (Deperate Housewives, Lost, etc.) via their iTunes music store, but what's even better is that they've made it completely open for you to transfer your own video to the ipod.

I think it would be awesome if you could "sync" your video ipod with your gbpvr recorded shows, and that way have your own recorded content with you on-the-go.
So basically my with is:
1. A change in the UI, so you could "tick off" the shows/recordings you wanted to export to your ipod (this could probably easily be made to work with the PSP as well, since the PSP uses the same codec as the video ipod)
2. A way to run a script after the show has been recorded (and possibly edited for commercial skipping), that kicks off the export of the recorded show.
3. An easy way to import the video to the ipod. The easiest way I see it, is via a podcast with a video attachment (GBPVR already has a built-in webserver, so that could probably be implemented semi-easily).
This could also open up for across-the-internet syncing of shows.
I know that the framework for GBPVR is based on Windows' media layer, but what I'm asking for is not native support for quicktime, but merely some way for example to facilitate easy export to other formats.
Most of the "Quicktime stuff" could probably be handed via a script that calls the relevant quicktime functions, so basically the most important stuff to have integrated would be the framework for it all to work together seamlessly (Meaning, you press record, tick of a box "export to ipod/psp", and everything is automatically done for you).
