Any easy batch converters out there?

[zanos]

Anyone know a program out there that will allow me to dump an entire list of files into it for batch conversion. Programming settings for each individual file is so tedious especially if you have a ton of them.

Sorry crystal ball on the blink!!!



What kind of conversion

[zanos]

avi to mpeg2

By no means am I an expert, but from my limited experience I would use Quenc. You'll need to install Avisynth as well to setup the AVS files. A few calls from the command line to Quenc and you'll have all the switches you want.

As for the AVS, I use:
DirectShowSource("filename.avi")
Converttoyv12()

Tip: use dir *.avi >> files.txt to create a text list of all the avi files in a path, then open it in Excel (fixed width text) and use basic formulas to create a DOS batch file.

Hope this helps. Both tools mentioned are available at https://www.videohelp.com/tools/

Quite a few of these can do batch conversions (tho i dont know this info about all of them)

I would use TMPGEnc
