Re: How to enqueue a number of video encoding jobs (vob to xvid or divx)

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to enqueue a number of video encoding jobs. In
other words, I would rip DVDs one at a time with dvdrip into vob
files, but then would like to enqueue more than one encoding job (to
convert vob into xvid or divx) and leave the pc running over time. In
Windows, this is very straightforward with dr divx or autogk, but I
didn't find a way to do it in Linux yet. Dvdrip encodes well, but, as
far as I understood, it cannot set a queue of encoding jobs.

Any suggestions? I have Ubuntu 64 bit on and AMD machine

I use AVIDemux to do similar, I take my own videos of short trips
off-road in a vehicle then convert those videos to low-bitrate
low-resolution versions, sometimes there's several of these at once.
For DVD rips I don't usually bother with the batch processing.

Using AVIDemux I first of all set up all the settings I want to use,
save this out as a "project", edit the project file (a .js file) to
remove the bit where it loads in the specific video I used to set up
the configuration. Then I give this an appropriate name,
e.g. SDR2laneDB.js, DVD-High.js, DVD-Medium.js etc and put the file
into the .avidemux/custom directory. Then, next time I want to do a
similar job I can recall all the settings just by picking the file off
the "Custom" menu in AVIDemux. I only have to do this once for each
type of encoding I want to do, once done then it makes repeat jobs
easier.

When processing several, I load in the first Vob/mpg file, choose the
appropriate settings from "Custom", then go to "add to joblist", give
the job a name, and give it an output filename. Then on to the next
vob/mpg, load it in, choose settings from "Custom" (it's important to
do that even if you want to use the same settings as some get reset
when you load a new file), choose "add to joblist", give it a name and
an output file, and so on. Then choose "Run all jobs" and go to bed.
