Compressing many files

PZeplin · 06-11-2007, 12:30 PM

I recently finished a video... and now i have about 60 vid files, worth 45 gigs on my hardrive... now obviously they need to go! But I dont feel like burning 15 dvd's just to get rid of them... so I thought I would compress them all to get the file size down a little bit!

Now, my problem is... I dont feel like going in and compressing each file individually, that would just take waaaay to much time. So is there a program out there that can compress these suckers together? Where I can just drag 30 files over, say how they should be compressed, and it does the rest?

(DivX converter dosn't like my fraps files)

... ok, you COMPLETELY missed the point.

I need to compress roughly 60 individual files. Not one big file... I already made my movie with vegas, thank you very much.
I need to get 60 seperate files compressed, and I dont want to compress them all one by one, that would take me ages. I need an ability to just drag/drop them in, and get them started on compression.

No discussion about pirated software here please (even if we assume you've bought vegas legally).

Get http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/ VirtualDubMod, set up your compression (10 mbit single pass xvid works fine), then go to File -> Job Control -> Edit -> Process directory and go from there
