Batch encode quicktime to mpg?

[marty mcfly]

Hi all..

I have a bunch of quicktime files I wish to encode to mpg so I can watch them on my DVD player. Problem is when I go to TMPGENC and try and batch encode quicktime files I get the message "Illegal steam format".

Am I doing something wrong or is there an easy way to encode many quicktime files to mpg?


Thanks!

To convert from QuickTime MOV videos you must download the QTReader.vfp and copy it to the TMPGEnc folder.

You need the Plugin/codec download from here.

I have that.. I can convert QT to mpg, just not in batch mode.

So if I understand you correctly, you can load your QT file, and if you press the start button to encode immediately, it works fine, but once you add to batch, you get the error ?

I assumed you couldn't even load the file.

No no, I can encode one file at a time using the wizard, but its when I try to add QT files in batch mode I get the error.

Try it out of the wizard (in "manual" mode).
