Android: who knows a script for batchencoding videos

[Lanzi]

I own a new google-Android smartphone (Nexus S)
and I would like to reencode some of my short (1-5min) HD-holidayvideos (1920px) to a more convienient android size and have them in the end in mp4 (my nikon digicam produces mp4 in *mov containers), maybe already in another folder

Since I have a lot of videos it would be nice if I could batchencode all the videos from a folder to another one, with mp4 and only 480 or 720px.
The aspectratio should be maintained!

Who know enough of mencoder or mplayer to help?

Ralul, you have an idea? I love (and still use) you photo-rezisescript!)

winff and tablet-encode should know enough about the tools you mentioned. There are a couple of presets for different devices floating around in the net. You might find the appropriate for your needs there, may be.

hmmm, I found both tool and installed them.
winff remeinds me to soundkonverter. looks great. I found a h264 profile, but its not working. a konsole is opening and then I ran the follwing:

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 29977.00 (29977/1) -> 29.98 (29977/1000)

Did you run it from commandline?
I ask because of this:

Unrecognized option 'me'

If you run it from a GUI, a close look into the options maybe worth a try.

I was wondering about "me" to :-)
No, i didn't run it from the commandline. Just startet it in KDE

BTW: tablet-encode is crashing the moment I click on convert...

Any other way?

I use HandBrake to convert viedeos for my HTC Hero.

The program has gui and cli. You can define convert-profiles and it has an batch-mode.

Well, I tested it, and it works fine... It was dificult to find the settings for pic-size, but finally I found it under (profiles-save).
