View Full Version : Any hints for enconding lots of music videos?

Hi guys,

first, here is what I do: I'm recording several european music channels (mtv,viva,im1,...) and reencode my favourites to divx in order to collect them.

The part, that works great for me:
- Recording 2hr .ts files with my dvb-s card
- cutting out the videos that I like using dvr-studio

The part that could be improved (vdub+avisynth used till now)
- cropping
- filtering (deinterlace, logo, adding own logo,...)
- encoding

What would be cool:
A tool where you add like 30-50 .ts (or .mpeg) files.
you can set the crop-range for each .ts/.mpeg file individually (gui!)
there are global filtering,enconding options for all .ts/.mpegs
Press a button and let the computer work over night :-)

I know that vdub has batch processing and stuff but it's like 100 repeating steps for each vid:
- creating.avs,
- opening avs in vdub (avs+mpeg2 plugin), l
- loading processing options,
- setting cropping range,
- adding the job to the batch-list (1st pass)
- adding the job to the batch-list (2nd pass)

Well I had no problem doing it with a few encodes / week or month but on a daily basis with like 30 vids or so it really gets kind of annoying

(and I also created my own batch and .avs files with a quick hacked java program that scanned a given directory for all videos in it...) but it makes cropping impossible 'cause now EVERYTHING works automatically.

perhaps some of you guys has any suggestion what I can do to make my "work" more efficient.

regards,
Fabian
