good program for batch encoding?

[chilledinsanity]

I have a whole bunch of AVI files I want to convert to a smaller size for editing purposes. Right now I just do this using virtualdubmod and it's sort of a pain because I still have to add the them one by one into the batch processing list. Is there any software where it's easier to convert a lot of AVI's to a smaller resolution (can just drag them to a list and specify my settings)?

I do this with 2 batch files, 1 with the settings for mencoder, and another to process a folder of AVI's and feed them to the first batch file one after the other, bit of playing around to get it right, but comes in extremely handy when converting a heap of files off my HDD Camera

in virtualdub one would press f4, dunno about vdubmod?

The same F4, Edit -> Process directory

Hmm, I'm a little confused. How would you tell Vdub to process all the clips in the directory, telling it to change the resolution. Would adding one job ahead of time do this?

So if I take a clip add the resize filter, and save it in full processing mode, then add that to the batch jobs, if I processed a directory after that, would it apply those same settings to ALL the clips?

irc, it goes like this:

you open one (any) clip, set all your filters and stuff and
then press f4, everything should be applied to batch then.

p.s. the other (more advanced) option is to use some batch scripts to control vdub.exe (which is a cli face for virtualdub).

staxrip, or you could just write your own NT batch script.
