x264 encoded mkv/mp4 transcode to xvid encoded avi

[graysky]

Can someone recommend a batch method to literally take a dir either .mp4 or .mkv videos (audio is either ogg or aac and video is always x264) and transcode them to xvid avi files? The key would be batch. I think I can do this the long way by demuxing, making avisynth scripts, transcoding the audio all manually, but I'm hoping there's a "one-click solution" out there.

Thanks!

tried alltoavi?

Maybe possible with xvid4psp also.

Hi Baldrick - I found it just as you replied to my post! It does work, but I have about 200 of these things and it is a 2-step process with alltoavi.

1) Go from mvk/mp4 to avi with x264 video/ogg audio
2) Go from avi (x264/ogg) to avi (xvid/mp3)

And unfortunately, it only uses about 53 % of the quad chip

I'll look into xvid4psp and thank you for the reply

You must be combing through these forums pretty regularly. You have been kind enough to answer all my questions over the years!

A few ideas

You could queue up a bunch with WinFF , unfortunately it will only do 1 at a time, and XviD's multithreading implementation is not that good - therefore you will still be stuck with suboptimal usage of your CPU. I think you can get around this by running multiple instances...

With MeGUI you can set a couple workers to function simultaneously in the queue with only 1 instance, thus optimizing your CPU quad usage , but you need the .avs scripts prepared to throw into the queue

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, poison. I'll look into WinFF.
