Hey,
love the new Boxee App so far.
But wouldn't it be great to have the option to copy the video instead of converting it?
You could implement it as a option under the selection of audio sources.
The AirVideo app does this (but only if the file is already H264/MP4/AAC) but the Plex app also supports this for MKV/AC3 files, so that it does not have to encode the video stream (ffmpeg -vcodec copy (the iPad pretty much plays everything with 1280x720, even if the "Level" is 5.1. If you use tsmuxer and set the level to 3.1 it will play without problems.))
This could be an advanced option for people who know about this stuff but it certainly would make me very happy (just look what the Plex app does ;-) )
