I have captured DV into many small .AVI files from a camcorder over 1394 using WinDV, with the setting intentionally set such that each scene is saved as a separate .AVI file.
Now I am looking for an encoding program, to encode each small DV .AVI file into a DivX/Xvid .AVI file in "batch mode". i.e. I don't want to tell the encoder what to do using a GUI. Instead I am looking for an encoder (running in Windows OS) that can execute a batch script.
This is because I am trying to do this using distributed grid computing. I have access to a network of computers. Each computer on the network will be running one instance of the encoding program. I will then distribute the multiple DV .AVI files to the network of computers to encode.
I will then collect the encoded files back from the network. "Many Hands" make light work, so they say. If I am successful, I will write-up my results here. (For those of you who are interested in doing your own video-grid computing experiments, I am doing the development work using a digipede.net software development kit license. )
If it works, I can imagine encoding an hour our video to DivX in several minutes.
If my DivX/Xvid requirement eliminates all the encoders, I would settle for a .MPEG2 batch converter, i.e. (DV .AVI to MPEG2)

Our NConvert can convert dv to mpeg4 with batch mode.
But I don't know how can you combine this mpeg4 file to
one.free video player,convert,decoder sdk

Combining multiple files into one isn't a problem for me. I actually prefer to have them separate. Then, when I copy the files onto DVD-R, my Philips DVP642 player will treat the individual files like chapters, which is much better than having a single long file with no chapters.

It is cross platform, you can compile it yourself or download a precompiled build.
You can find my compiles for various CPU's here: http://celticdruid.no-ip.com/xvid/
No installer. I could make one but I don't think that command line apps really need them. -
