Any tutorials on how to make automated tasks in VirtualDub?

I'm trying to avoid manually re-encoding a series of files (around 200) by using a simple script. The problem is that I don't know anything about them.

Basically, I would like to take my original video, extract the audio to .wav, recompress it, re-encode the video using xvid, all the while adding black bars around the video and merging the compressed audio.

Is there a simple tutorial or way to do this? I was hoping there would be something like Photoshop has; something that remebers where you click and what settings you used.

VirtualDub has a thing called "Job Control" which can sort-of do what you want to do, but you'd need to load up each file I think ...

You can save your processing settings as well ...


Maybe a combination of the two, as well as virtualdub in CLI mode might be able to do the job as painlessly as possible ?
