Converting Files

T-K-O

Can you guys suggest a free app that will convert a bunch of files to MP4.

I am currently using Handbrake, it works great but having to load up each file means I have to be at the mac.

What I would like is to select a folder and let the app do its thing.

I want to covert files so I can transfer them to my iPad2.

Thanks

I thought there was a feature in Handbrake whereby you can queue up the files you want to convert??

Doesn't seem to work...

FLV Crunch will batch convert. Free too !!

What version of Handbrake are you using because queueing IS a feature?

The queue is cached to disk

may be a hint that you don't have enough spare disk space.

Downloading....

Thanks Ken

Without trying to be obvious, did you import them into iTunes and let that convert them into m4v?

I'll be honest, I didnt know you could do that with video files? Can you import and bunch at one time?

nialler

Yup

Excellent, thanks for that.

By the way is that a new(ish) feature with itunes

It's always been a part of iTunes, just go under the File menu and add to library shift-select the files you want to convert and let it do its magic.

I thought I tried that in the past, either way thanks for the tip

The newest version does batch conversions and its very Fast and has a really nice interface, designed specifically to output to Tablets, Phones, Apple TV's etc...

Doesn't work. The App has a "no entry" sign on it.
