**Notes**:
Needs to be installed as a Finder Plugin (copy to ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/
)
Select some movie files, right click on one of them, and select the workflow from the Automator menu. Quicktime Player will each movie, export it to an iPod-friendly video format, import it into your iTunes Library (and Videos playlist), and play it for you. Next time you sync your video-capable iPod, your movies will be viewable on the iPod!
