Batch conversion ala TMPGEnc

[Rastalovich]

(I`m meant to have looked into this this weekend >.<)

Are there any better options out there than TMPGEnc, for handling a good number of files, .avi/.wmv/.mov/etc, and turning them into 1 codec type ?

I mention TMPGEnc coz from memory I seem to remember it`s batching ability, which would allow u to setup a whole list of conversions and leave a machine doing it.

It`s highly likely that no dimensions will want to be changed, probably no cropping or color changed, just a change of one codec to another.

I also mentioned TMPGEnc coz I happen to know it`s at hand and have a funny feeling that once a batch file is created it could be easily edited by hand ??

Think it will join too ??

yea TMPEG lets u batch and apply wat u wish to each encode (resize , filers, diff codecs, cut , join , crop , change AR etc )

The Bats can b edited it saves them as a PText file IIRC

Hmm I`ll take a quick look at Foobar2000, that rings a bell.

Going back to conversion, it`s been a good number of years since I`ve used TMPGEnc (so I`ll check for latest version etc), I don`t/can`t remember if it`s beneficial to convert a compressed movie to a non compress version before re-encoding it as some other compression method - or whether there`s no benefit to it and the likes of TMPGEnc do it `on the fly` anyway ?

1 thing I do know, it`s gonna be alot quicker with an E6400/2G/SATA than 2600+/1G/IDE lol. Only downside I may have is the files may have to read/write over a 1G network >.<

Dont worry about using it over a 1g network .. u aint gonna fill 5 Mb/s encoding never mins a 50-70Mb pipe

and u dont need to uncompress as the process goes like this

Uncompress [places it to RBG or YUV/ whatever colout space >> encode to new format
