Batch encoding with A's Video Encoder

[bizzybody]

I have a lot of AVI files I want to convert to HEVC MKV. Each AVI is in its own subfolder with idx and sub files. If I open one and convert, it puts the output into the same folder as the original. If I open several individually, each one's output goes into the same folder as the original.

But if I search for all AVI files under the top folder, then drag the search results into A's, it wants to put all the output files into the same folder as the first video.

It would be far more convenient to have 445 videos' newly converted versions sorted into their proper folders. If it can't then I suppose I'll just have to move them myself after A's gets finished. :P

I would recommend batching it. If you don't know batch-files yet, it will take some learning. But it is worth the effort IMO.

You could start by looping over all files (decription) and just output the file's path on the command line.
In the next step, you create a function "encode" that you call for each file and that also just outputs the filename (documentation of functions).
And in the last step, you could extract the path and filename (description) and call the encoder on the command line (it seems to have a command line usage at least).
