This way, the converted clip would have the same name as original. I don't think you can make it the exact same name. Besides the extension often changing, maybe sometimes it will not (e.g. H.264 MOV -> DV MOV). > We could also have a new entry in "File" menu to convert several files at once > or all files in a folder. > > What do you think? I think it is good to think about transcoding like this not only as a crutch to improve compatibility, but also for proxy generation. But there are additional considerations for proxy handling, and maybe this feature can be used for both, but it does require the intentional design. Also, in the Render dialog, we should make a simple change to run multiple render jobs sequentially as opposed to parallel. Then, add some additional functionality to batch transcode files outside of the timeline. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
