Mass Convert TV Shows

[TeamPFC]

I have a large video collection, mainly T.V. Shows, all sorted into their respective folders by show name, season, then episode. I am wondering if anyone knows a good tool to convert each episode of each show to x264 (A lot of them are xvid or wmv), possibly verify the convert went well, then delete the original - keeping the naming etc.

Does this tool exist? Where can I find it if so?

To give you an idea, I have close to 800GB of TV shows, mostly in 480i.

Video enhancer has super resolution. but it isn't worth the trouble, if your source files aren't perfect

A lot of av receivers do scaling through the hdmi connection, maybe worth looking into, my pioneer sclx83 is good at this job,

rather than converting each video, you could let your hardware do it for you, save you a lot of time and hassle

Then there is also the popular ffdshow and virtualdub

Why do you want to do it?

It's going to degrade the quality, and it's not going to make much difference to the filesize.

Yes m8, there is a tool to do so, you can use MeGUI!

You can use Handbrake.
