The description of MpegALot - Play With New Friends
MpegALot has one purpose - to facilitate the encoding of large amounts of videos to the MPEG4+AAC format (for ipod, PSP, etc). It has several useful features that greatly simplify this task. Here are some of the most important:Clean, unified, streamlined GUI that handles all the various "behind-the-scenes" open-source command-line encoding appsEncoding frontend is completely multithreaded to take advantage of multicore/multiprocessor/hyperthreaded systems to greatly speed up batch encodesAccepts both files and folders as sources, and can apply custom filtering rules to specify only certain files/folders to encodeCan recurse through source folders to encode all files in all subdirectoriesOutput all encoded files to a single folder or to a directory relative to each source's pathCan preserve metadata from source to output filesMulti-user aware, so multiple users can run different encoding jobs without interfering with each otherAV presets and encoding jobs can be imported/exported as simple XML files for easy transfer between machines"Autorun" mode suitable for launching from the command-line or task schedulerExtensive logging mechanism and GUI for debugging errors and monitoring progressAble to encode almost any file that is playable in Windows Media PlayerMpegALot has one purpose - to facilitate the encoding of large amounts of videos to the MPEG4+AAC format (for ipod, PSP, etc).
