virtual dub jobs

[GRUMBLE]

does anyone know about virtualdubs automatic conversion features?

i have about 50 short (5-10secs) videos in mpeg 4 at 320x240 and i want them all converted to 160x120 with a filename like:

originalname_160.avi

is that possible in virtualdub?
if so, how?

thanks.

hmmmm. im confused now.

first this isnt automatic. i dont want to open every single one of these.

and i thought append avi would join the videos, but i only want them converted.

I missunderstood that. So you want create a batch encode list? In VirtualDub this is the job control.
Open the 1st file, configure, select file > save avi and check "add operation to job list". Repeat this procedure with all files. After that select file > job control and start conversion.
This isn't automatic? Well, you can write the job script with notepad.

This still isn't automatic? Then select file > options > Read author's mind.
