A couple of things...

First, great app. Very useful.

But, since most of these videos are already H.264 mpeg-4's, why the need for the conversion step, instead of simply wrapping it up in a quicktime container (if you even need to do that)? Conversion is painfully slow.

The popup dialogs are annoying.

Is there a bookmarklet? That would be awesome.

The conversion is useful so the videos take up less space on iPhones / iPods. I use TubeTV, and I definitely appreciate the feature, because most of my iPhone's memory is taken up by music videos off of YouTube right now.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, there is a bookmarklet and we'll be adding it to the website soon (or straight into the app). If you want it now, add this to your bookmark bar:

javascript:document.location.href='evom://'+escape(document.location.href)
