need help batch encoding with canopus procoder

[charvelzeppelin]

I just started using canopus procoder the other day and it's working great. However, I'm not sure exactly how to encode multiple files each to their own separate type. In other words, I load up the 2 files to convert in the first tab in the second tab I choose an mpeg2 output and an avi output. I want the first movie to be converted to mpeg2 and the second to convert to avi. However, when I press convert it converts each file to mpeg2 AND avi. How can I specify a file only to be converted to ONE specific type? Sorry for the confusing explanation. Thanks ahead.

Yeah, i use Procoder.....

Fantastic results with a few simple clicks!

The way you want to batch the procoder encodings is not so easy todo.

First you have to create a droplet with the right settings and then call them with a batch script from the command line.
It's really cumbersome.
The exact procedure is somewhere in the manual i think.
I have briefly tried to get it to work but without success.
