</div>I've have a quick write up on how I did this to my new<br>3g nano. It is here -> <a href="http://blog.webhounds.net/?p=6" target="_blank">http://blog.webhounds.net/?p=6</a><br>It basically outlines that I've had great results with

I never know it was that easy to add a custom transcode command to the GUI!
