Default Finding Content for your Cowon

Where do you guys get your video content for your Cowon? I typically only play things like the xvid offerings found at Revision3 and Jupiter Broadcasting. Are there any sites out there, perhaps even the streaming stations, that offer video (movies, tv, etc) for download that will play on the Cowon as opposed to something like Amazon's Unboxed which I think only will work on my PC since I do not have a Zen or Archos? I've tried "The 1up Show", but it is in .mov only and everything else from Sci-Fi channel to NBC appears to be flash. I know there are other options via torrent, but I am trying very hard to do the "morally correct" thing and I am trying to find viable options. Thanks all!

Now, if only I could get my Cowon to open .cbr files I'd be set. heh

Its a very frustrating situation. It is ridiculously easy to get a torrent, but I really would like to do "the right thing", if that exists, and rent/buy/etc. video entertainment without breaking the "law."

Do you guys use something like Handbrake or the convoluted triage of DVDShrink, DVD Decoder and RipIt4Me? What about Quicktime and Flash support for downloading the embedded videos in webpages for replay on the device? I wish I could patch VLC into the unit, it almost does everything.

Slsk is the way to go for me. Know of a few peeps that share your musical taste and you good to go, and with correct settings you can even prevent any random person from browsing your files (incase you paranoid that '-someone-' may try to finger you for sharing something you shouldn't be).
