Mux Batch MKV to MP4 while keeping hardsubs and choosing filesize?

[fighuass]

Hello guys, I frequently watch Anime, and I usually encode it this way:

1. I mux the MKV file (approx. 300MB~) in StaxRip and put the muxed sub back.
2. After that, I change the file size to 70MB. (Most episodes are around 23 minutes)
3. Then, I resize the file to 960x544 (PS Vita resolution)
4. I start the actual encode to MP4.

But lately, I want to watch longer series (26-50 episodes) and it would be extremely convenient not having to mux every file separately and changing the resolution by hand. My question is: How can I batch reencode the MKV files to MP4 files with a fixed resolution and filesize, while keeping the subtitles?

Have you tried vidcoder? It can batch, hardcode subs, set output file size. But I think you have to add the subs for each video.

Or try mkv2mp4 and see if it can hardcode the subs.

I haven't tried anything yet, but I got an error from VidCoder:

Hello?

Prerequisites

You'll need*.NET 4*(only the client profile is needed). If you don't have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. If you're on Windows 8 you shouldn't need to install anything; it has .NET 4 pre-installed.

Have you installed it?

[fighuass]

Yup. Any other suggestions?

[Baldrick]

No.

Okay, I'll stick to watching Anime via other sites then.

FFMpeg should be able to do that with a proper batch file. If you are not good at command line tools and batch files, you can use a GUI like FFQueue. Just create a preset that suits your encoding and drag & drop all videos to encode onto FFQueue and you are in business. You cannot define a target file size, but you can use a fixed bitrate to get approximate file size.
