mencoder to encode multiple avi (s)??

CQ1ST · 12-29-2009, 09:30 AM

I'm new to commandline, and I'd like to:
$mencoder -ffourcc DX50 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc
about 10 files...

can you tell me how to write that please?

Put all the files in one folder and run something like this :

for i in *; do mencoder -ffourcc DX50 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc $i -o $i.avi; done

Or an even better way would be to use find like this:

find . -exec mencoder -ffourcc DX50 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc {} -o {} \;

mkdir done/
for i in *;do mencoder <etc> "$i" -o done/"$i";done
