OK, I have a Canon Powershot S2 IS... It takes amazing video, but eats up roughly 1 gig per 8 minutes... so a two minute movie would be roughly 230 megabytes... This is not acceptable as I take many movies and keep most of them... Using a two-pass xvid encode with Virtual Dub on pretty much standard settings gives me results I am happy with, however, I do not have the time to hit file>open browse to the movie, click compression options>xvid click first pass then save then compression options>xvid click second pass then save for over 15 files at a time! Does anyone know of any program that would allow drag and drop or scripts or something to get this so I can simply highlight all the videos I want encoded and then go do homework while they encode?

thanks for any help.

You mean you have 8 mins and it's stripped into 2 mins files ??? Confused
If so...

Do this:
Virtual Dub - Open the first video file - Append AVI Segment... - choose the 2nd file etc... when you glued all of the files go to:
Video - Compression - choose XviD and configure it. Click ok. Go to file - save as... Smile done.
Very Happy

Is that what you mean or ???


About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.

Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.
