[videoblogging] Re: Batch video convert automation
Oh and one other option I might add, there might be an Automator script that can do this with Quicktime Pro--and if not it might not be that big of a deal to set one up, but I don't know I've never done it, I just know it's possible. This would be the cheaper option if you don't have FCP.

EXCELLENT!!! Thanks Bill. Great advice AND it also gives you a DV file you can back up...

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Batch video convert automation
Several front ends for ffmpeg exist, but ffmpeg has problems using DV AVI files as input. Sony Vegas has a batch render script that solves the problem for me. I don't know if other PC editors have the same functionality.
