Hi All,

I've got a collection of video files ( avi divx flv m4v mkv mp4 mpg ogv
rmvb wmv ) with different video codecs (divx h264 mpeg4 RealVideo
WinMedia8 theora xvid etc. ) and different audio codecs (you get the idea).

I've also got a Sanyo TV that only wants to play ...
flv mp4 mkv wmv mpg avi
with...
h264 WinMedia9 xvid-mpeg4
and ...
certain audio codecs.

Have any command-line Linux wizards on the list: made up a script file
for a batch conversion of video files, searching for certain filespec
extensions (wrappers?) and/or codecs, and having transmageddon (or
whatever) convert them?

I'm hoping to have something that could work its way through a directory
of files, that I could leave it run unattended for a couple days, but
could abort it (in case of a need to shut down the system for a while or
give other processes system resources).

I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.4 and got Transmageddon 0.15

Thanks very much in advance.

Handbrake has a CLI version that could do that for you but you'd have to script the input output parts, which is what your asking I suppose.
