What is a batch file encode?
A batch file encode is a text file that contains a series of DOS encode commands
on separate lines that execute one after another. By doing so you can encode
many different bitrates and sources or anything that requires repetitive
encoding.
It looks like this:
Ex.
"VCSEncoder.exe" -i -v -da -c0,125000 " -w288 -b256000 -a20000 -f7.50
-q45 "F:\\testvideo.avi" "F:\VIDEO\testvideo_A.vcs"
"VCSEncoder.exe" -i -v -da -c0,125000 " -w320 -b350000 -a20000 -f7.50
-q60"F:\\testvideo.avi" "F:\VIDEO\testvideo_B.vcs"
