Convert files to Zune and Media Center friendly.

Ok, trying to convert some files to be friendly with my Zune 120Gb and the rest of my media players including Media Center. I would also like the file type to be GPU compatible so it is faster to convert. My Zune is the main thing so it doesn't try and convert when syncing, I am only using it as an external video player for use in my car on long trips for the second set of monitors in it.The Zune will support MPEG-4 and H.264 video but there are specific limits listed.

MPEG-4 (MP4/M4V) (.mp4) Part 2 video; Simple Profile up to 2.5 Mbps peak video bit rate; 720 pixels x 480 pixels up to 30 frames per second (or 720 pixels x 576 pixels up to 25 frames per second)

H.264 video; Baseline profile up to 2.5 Mbps peak video bit rate; 720 pixels x 480 pixels up to 30 frames per second (or 720 pixels x 576 pixels up to 25 frames per second)

I do believe my Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate and DVDFab's suite use my Cuda cores for both of these conversion types but what should I set my converter up as to be within these exacting specs? I would use Handbrake but it doesn't seem to use CUDA cores.

The original files are DVD quality.
