After alot of hassles (online retailer not delivering, local stores being totally sold out), I finally managed to get my hands on a new Zune device today.
If you've got a Zune as well, you may have noticed that there are some cool videos pre-loaded on the Zune, but there does not appear to be any Zune videos for sale in the marketplace yet (atleast I haven't seen them).
If you have MediaCenter installed or you have DVDs you'd like to watch on the Zune, this entry's for you.
Media Center MS-DVR files on Zune
Ok, there's presently no out-of-the-box syncing of MS-DVR files to Zune. The good news is that there's a tool, DVRMSToolkit that readily will convert your MediaCenter recorded tv shows from MS-DVR format to .WMV. You can find this here - http://thegreenbutton.com/files/15/dvrms/entry112402.aspx
DVDs on Zune
Pocket DVD Wizard will convert DVDs to WMVs. In addition to converting it to WMV, it will also convert it for other players (i.e. ipod, psp). not to mention your pocketPC and smartphones. At $28, it's worth the price.

TiVo on Zune?
I'm using Tivo Desktop to pull over some video files now. I'll post feedback on whether this works later in the week.
