looking for a software

[one system]

hello all

i need a software that can do encoding to "wmv" from "mpeg".
that is not a big deal, i know.
the big deal is that i need a software like that, that also have schedule.
so for example i want to set it to take a mpeg file from specific folder, encode it to wmv and put it in a different specific folder.
i need it to work like that 24 hour a day without the need of a human touch.

it doesn't have to be a freeware.

Why would you want to do this?

Making hundreds of vids for the web, I've never used the same settings twice because the footage was different...different lighting, different colors, different sound, different backgrounds, different exposure, different everything. Every clip is unique.

You'd have to set it once then hope for the best...which won't be very good...so it's probably a waste of time. However, I'm sure you could use a program to simply record your mouse movements once for these repetative tasks. These are free.

Never heard of batch encoding, huh?

Super (freeware) will do this

who said anything about batches?
and you missed the point about quality

Microsoft gives away a WMV encoder. You just have to download it. There are also some free 3rd party GUI interfaces to it. I don't remember the names of any of these things though as I haven't looked at them in more than 1 year and I only tried to encode to WMV once. Maybe one of the 3rd party interfaces to the Windows Media Encoder supports batch processing.
