Finally a decent batch converter

[DayVeeJay]

I've since switched over to MPEG Streamclip. I'm pretty sure it preserves the file/folder structure unlike AME. I'm looking to convert my entire library to DXV. To speed things up I'm looking into creating a script to check the resolution, codec and possibly framerate. If anyone knows of a command line utility that will give me this info it would be a huge help.

I've been toying with the idea of writing a PowerShell script to do this using MediaInfo which has a CLI edition - http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

Does it support DXV?

I just tried it on a DVX encoded clip & this is the resulting text file:

Im a bit confused. It says MPEG and DXDI. Did it work?
