Hi. First, thanks in advance for your help. Second, I'm pretty dense when it comes to this stuff, so fair warning. You may need to spell out the steps a bit.
Here's the situation. I have a crapload of TV episodes that are AVI files (like a TB or two). I tend to view these episodes in Quicktime (10) and 1) AVI's have to be converted every time which is really annoying and 2) MP4's are smaller in filesize. I was hoping to easily convert all these AVIs to MP4s using Hazel and/or Automator.
I want it to retain the file name exactly and replace the AVI files (which can get moved to the trash) in the source folders. I have a host of converters to work with including Handbrake, ffmpegX, MPEG Streamclip, iSkysoft Video Converter, MacX Video Converter Pro, Adobe Media Encoder CS6, the built-in one from Mac's services, VLC and even Quicktime itself. I'd like to retain the resolution and settings as much as possible so I don't have to adjust everything every time. A one size fits all kinda deal.
I'd like to be able to run it overnight and let it do it's thing for however many nights that takes. This has got to be possible. My Google-fu only found so much and none of it was a workable solution.
Thanks again!
