I have some requirements and I'm finding it hard to find a video conversion program that will handle them.
1 - Batch select and convert. Be able to select all supported video files within a directory and have the option of recursing into subdirectories and choosing the video files there as well.
2 - Save the converted video to the same directory where the original was found. This is a big one and I've tried so many different programs and NONE of them will do this! They all want you to specify the "Output Directory" and save everything there! I don't want that. I want the converted video stored in the original location. If there's a naming conflict, append a 1, 2, 3 or whatever.
3 - Be fully configurable when defining the output format. In other words, if I want the output to be 560*304, let me do that! I don't want to be stuck with pre-defined default resolutions. If my player won't play it, let me discover that and work it out on my own. But not just resolution, audio channels, volume normalization, aspect ratio, format (of course), and everything else.
4 - And of course, what 90% of all the video convertors do well, support a multitude of input and output formats. But let me make tweaks to the output formats if I want to.
So, does anyone know of any video conversion application that will do all of this? Of course, Freeware, or at least free limited trial is preferred. But if I have to pay for it, that's fine too ... I would like to test it before purchasing if at all possible though.
