Metasploit payload encryption

[Big-Blue]

Hey guys ;D
Some days ago I think I saw a video about metasploit where someone wrote "encrypt to get around pesky antivirus"... And yeah, he encrypted the payload. But how? I really want to try how much my AV can take, but I really don't find anything that describes how. I googled, searched for the video and whatever... But nothing =/

Can you guys help? =P

Metasploit Unleashed - Mastering the Framework

See chapter 8, section "Antivirus bypass". I'm finding this link to be the equivalent of the metasploit bible.

is it also possible to encrypt the payloads that i can use with exploits?
e.g. when i use the "apple_quicktime_marshaled_punk" module my antivirus software (antivir) detects the reverse meterpreter shell
