Automatic video conversion

[scottyboy250]

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Looking for a programme that can automatically convert a video that is placed in a specific file and then output to a different file.

Looking to convert to mp4.

For example, video arrives across network into [folder 1] the programme picks it up automatically in [folder 1] and converts it to mp4 and dumps it in [folder 2] without me having to do anything.

Had a look around and cant find anything.

The term for the feature you're looking for is "watch folder"

Some programs that offer this: eg. adobe media encoder, mainconcept reference, carbon coder, procoder , sorenson squeeze, a few others

"mp4" is a just a container, and can hold different types of video & audio

Or google for folder watch and use it with a separate command line tool for the actual conversion like ffmpeg.
