How to convert multiple files to h264 with hardcoded subtitles

[Reekho]

Hey guys,

Here's the deal.

I have tons of video files, encoded with xvid or divx or whatever. Each file has its separated .srt file, which has the same name.

I would like to hardcode these subtiles in these videos, and since i have to re encode, I would like to use h264 in mp4, for ps3 and ipad compatibility.

I found a lot of ways to do that, but one file at a time. Is there a way to do some kind of batch conversion ?

I guess xvid4psp6.0 will be able to do it, but i'm tired of waiting, watching the dailies.

Thanks for your help.

Try videora converter. I think it can do batch and subs.

Thanks for your reply.

The comments about this soft say that it's full of spam and wont work with .srt

Not sure i wxant to install it

But you look desparate.


Another app that might work is SGI's Video Converter. I have not tried it though.

Tried Videora and got error messages at conversion. Too bad, that soft didn't carry that much spam

Trying SGI now. This is looking good. I'm waiting for the conversion to end right now.

SGI will do the trick for freeware. AVSVC will do this too but its not free.

SGI should work, but i have trouble managing to integrate the srt subs.

Will try AVSVC if it does not work. Thanks

update.

SGI seems not to work. Subtitles are detected (same file name), but no hardcoding with ffmpeg.

With mencoder, sound got delayed, and subtitles are hardcoded, but with transparent colour ...
