MEncode.cmd Now Supports Wildcards

My simple yet effective batch file-based solution for converting digital videos in Quicktime MOV format from Panasonic Lumix and other cameras to MPEG-2, MEncode.cmd, now supports wildcards, too.

Now you can run the following command to create MPEG-2 versions of all MOV files copied over from your camera:

MEncode.cmd "C:\Some Folder\*.mov"

MEncode will then take each input MOV file in “C:\Some Folder” and create an MPEG-2 file from it. The original will of course not be touched.

MEncode.cmd can be downloaded here.

Bitmaps tend to have noise and imperfections, especially if they’ve been generated by AI. Vector graphics, on the other hand, trace the outline of elements with elegant curves. Converting from the real world of bitmaps to the ideal world of vectors requires ignoring the actual pixels and seeing an idealized structure instead. That is not something automated conversion tools can do today, at least not those I’ve tested. Instead of converting a PNG to SVG you should, therefore, recreate it in a vector graphics image editor. This article shows how to do that in the free Inkscape.
