Batch Processing?

[kwkanne]

I am working on a project for my son's wrestling team. I am clipping out each match, saving it to the wrestler's folder, then rendering all of each wrestler's matches into a chapter. I am using Ulead Video Studio to do all of my video editing. Is there any way to set up some kind of a script that would perform the rendering portion of this project? If not with Ulead, is there another tool that would allow this type of batch processing?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Please share what is your source file and what would you like to convert it to eventually. And some more CTQ's (Critical to Quality) that you might have so we or at least I can help you.

There are definitely better programs that Ulead VideoStudeo!

I am loading the video to my PC using a Canon MiniDV and firewire, so the video I'm clipping from would be DV-AVI. I then want to render the final chapters in whatever format I can fit 140 to 180 minutes onto one DVD.

I'm currently rendering them to VCD format, or I guess MPG, because that seemed to be the smallest file size of rendered video, but when I go to burn it, Nero ends up using much more space than the size of all the chapters, so I'm not sure if I'm using the optimum format.
Thanks.

If you are using Ulead Video Studio, then you have the option of burning the DVD right after encoding.

Else, use TMpegEnc Xpress (paid software) to convert the AVI (or multiple AVI's) to MPG2 (one file) and then you could use TMpegEnc DVD Author to author your final DVD's. you can fit 140 minutes of movie easily and even more but then you will have tio reduce the bitrate in settings. There are useful guides in videohelp.com about conversation and authoring the final DVD with very simple menus.

Use any guide which describes conversaion of AVI to DVD. There are free softwares available as well..
