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.

Updates: Update 1: Fixed bugs in the batch file and made it available for download Update 2: Wildcards are now supported Update 3: Timestamps are now copied from source to destination files. For this, touch.exe is needed. Update 4: File names with spaces in them are now handled correctly I recently bought a new compact digital photo camera, Panasonic’s Lumix LX3. Although I acquired it solely for its still image capabilities, I quickly discovered that it records video in very high quality, especially when compared to my digital video camera, a JVC model equipped with a hard disk on which video files are stored in MPEG-2 format in DVD resolution.
