| − | The idea is to use VLC to do some batch work to encode or transcode multiple files one after each other, without having to care about it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You may want to transcode all your videotheque to another format to play them on an [[IPod]], a [[Play on Zune|Zune]], a PS3 or a [[Play on Xbox|Xbox]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Codecs / Muxers ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | You have to choose the correct codecs for the device you want to transcode for.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We choose here [[H.264]] with [[AAC]] in a [[MPEG-2#TS|MPEG-2/TS]] muxer as an example.

| − | For example, to transcode a batch of m4a files (potentially in multiple subdirectories of a single common root directory) to mp3 files (512kb/s encoding with 44100 sampling frequency) you could use the following code in a Windows XP command prompt:
