How to Get Free TV Shows on Your iPod

One of my favorite TV shows is Flight of the Conchords. However, it airs concurrently with another show I like, and I often have to choose between the two. Since I did not watch FOTC the last two weeks due to some serious drama on the other show, and I leave on a week and a half trip tomorrow morning, I thought it would be nice to be able to bring these two missed episodes with me. What did I do to get it onto my iPod for free?

1. I went to megavideo and searched "Flight of the Conchords 207" (I wanted the 7th episode of the 2nd season)
2. I installed DownloadHelper (on Firefox, of course)
   
3. I went back to megavideo and, using DownloadHelper, downloaded the *.flv of the episode
4. Once the *.flv finished downloading, I went to MediaConvert and uploaded it
5. I clicked on the iPod preset (*.mp4), then "convert"
6. After 20 minutes of uploading and 5 minutes of processing, the file was ready to be downloaded
7. I imported it into iTunes
8. I attached and synced my iPod

And that's all, folks! Simple as, well, let's just say its not that complicated.
