Free video converter

[archdelux]

I was wondering if there was a free way to batch convert videos (mpg) in different folders to iPad-compatible formats and have the products sent to the respective folders of the original files (ie I select the 'my photos' folder and have all the videos converted in the respective sunflowers without having to manually go and find every video)

This would be useful for transferring my digital cameras videos to my iPad.

Thanks!

Handbrake and MPEG Streamclip can do that, as you can select different output directories and add several files from other input directories.

Thanks for your response..I actually tried using hanbrake and could select the root folder to queue up all the videos in the subfolders but couldn't figure out how to direct the program to put the resulting videos back to where the sources where (instead of putting all the resulting videos in one output folder..)

Any tips?

Is it easier with mpeg stream clip?

You can try this one - leawo free mp4 converter, it supports batch conversion . Scroll down the official websites and you will see many other free ones. Hope one of them can do the trick.

Thanks, but it looks like that one is only for PCs.. any free solutions for macs out there?

In handbrake you can change the output destination to wherever you'd like.

Handbrake has been the most efficient and seamless option for me when converting an overhaul of videos for appletv playback.

Thanks. But this would still require me to individually sync each folder and direct the videos to that folder. Is there a way to simply sync one root folder and have all the videos automatically go into the folder where the original came from?

You might try VideoMonkey, it will put them back where they came from by default I believe.
