I use Total Video Converter: http://www.effectmatrix.com/ which does a great job it takes about 45 mins to convert a 30 min video the only small thing is that you see artifacts on black not much but enough for myself to notice. encoding time can be less if you go down on the settings, I have high quality option enabled and a bit rate at 512.

What are some the encoders you others are using and what are the results

The one built into the Zune Software, and yes, I know it sucks...
But then I also use imtoo for DVD Rips, and it automatically converts, as it rips...its fricking awesome!

Download IMTOO

I tried Cucusoft to encode with and Total Video Converter is alot faster so I going to stick with it but quality wise cucusoft is better, it encoded a vid with less artifacts than TVC damn near close to the original file also I learned how to widescreen on zune thanks to Zunerama Ed on the zunerama board

Widescreen on the zune is kinda dumb, saying that in video mode, the Zune IS widescreen.
