The windows media encoder serves me well for converting .mpeg to PPC friendly .wmv 320x240 res. BUT it can only convert one file at a time.
As I have a lot of videofiles I am looking for a script to batch convert a folder of mpeg file into wmv ppc sizefreindly format. It is described in the WME help file how to compile one, but with my scripting skills it would probably take the better part of 2 months to compile one :s
Has anyone seen such a script, available for download somewhere ?
Both are reasonably well documented, the command line tool does have a
/? switch which tells you the options which are supported.
Once you understand that it's just really `calling a script which runs
the encoder on your behalf`, all you need to do is set up a .bat (MS
DOS batch file), using notepad.
And on each line, put the same command but vary the input and output
file names. This should only take a few minutes to cut+paste together
once you've got the the basic technique sorted -
Just get the command line parameters (profile file, input file and
output filename) correct once to try it out, then cut/paste the lines
together, save as encode.bat (say) and type encode.bat at the MS DOS
prompt.
