Are there any video converters out there that does batch conversion which:
A. automatically resizes video to fit within a specified resolution (320x240 in my case) while keeping the proper aspect ratio of the original file (e.g. 2.35:1 aspect ratio movie file would be resized to 320x136 although the max resolution would be specified as 320x240)
B. automatically retains the original file's frames per second
C. automatically correct a/v sync issues (i.e. detects if VBR, and converts to CBR if necessary... or however else it may be fixed)
?
I've been using 2 programs mainly, but each have their pros and cons:
1. Creative Zen converter
Pros:
- Does A and C
Cons:
- Does not do B
- WOEFULLY SLOW
2. SUPER
Pros:
- Fast
- Using mencoder option appears to do C (ffmpeg option does not)
Cons:
- Does not seem to have ability to do A or B for multiple/batch files (but will do them if I specify the parameters for each individual file which of course will take up some sweet time as I use GSpot to determine the original frames per second and the proper resolution that will retain the aspect ratio for each file)
It would seem to me that if SUPER somehow implemented the options for "retain original aspect ratio", "retain original FPS", and automatically detected VBR a/v and corrected it, it would be my weapon of choice. But sadly it does not (at least not that I know of). Are there any alternatives out there that does?
I'm basically wanting to convert higher resolution divx/xvid, mp3/ac3/aac, videos to fit my 320x240 Zen (or possibly a new PMP with different resolution) in xvid-mp3 video format with the above mentioned capabilities.
