PODCasting directly to Miniplayer

Is there a program that can download video podcasts directly to the miniplayer? Now I have to download them and convert them manually to the correct format. I'd love to see a program that can do it at once.

I'd be happy to write a program in Python to do the job you need when I find time (it will be after Christmas). Initially it would have to be run from the command line but I'd be able to at windowing support later.
I'm not promising anything particularly soon (I have me GCSEs coming up) but it would be useful for me too =D.
