Hello

Does anyone know a good program for converting video to a video podcast format like H.264 with MP3 or AAC sound and with command line support? The command line support is very important so I can run if from a batch file.

What is the best video podcast format (compatible with the most MP3-players)? Is it H.264 with MP3?

Thanks

ffmpeg or mencoder, since you want to script them, are good choices.

Best format? That doesn't mean anything, everyone has a different definition of best. Most compatible? Depends on your target audience; it could be avc sp, it could be mpeg4 asp, it could be h.263, or wmv. One of the most frustrating parts of mobiles is how badly documented most are about specific video capabilities. (Most sites seem to use some form of avc, maybe you could email some to find out if they're mobile-compatible.)
