Hey guys,

Sorry If I'm duplicating but I did a quick search and the last mention of this I found was back in 2011...

Would it be possible to implement a batch convert for files into the GUI?

Having to do this one by one isn't really ideal and it isn't particularly user friendly to get them to use a script to iterate through each file.

Even the option of batch converting a folder would be a huge help.

Many thanks.

I concur, completely. I thought it was a current feature and spent hours trying to find a way to do it. See this post tells me it either is hard to find/implement, or it doesn't (yet) exist.

Thanks for brining this up.

Handbrake is pretty good at this for typical video file conversions. You can use the GUI to set source/destination/options and the conversion is added to a queue that you can start processing while you continue adding jobs.
