I had no problems making a 640x480 h.264 ipod compatable with Videora, my problem is that it constanly unsynchs the audio. Its fine to begin with but drifts by up to 5 or 6 seconds of lag by the end of the show.
I'm going to play with it some more, try out the avisyth profiles. I'll let you guys know if I find a "solution" Rev.
