I'm just getting into scripting. I figure I could write this, but hopefully, it already exists (or at least something close I can use as a starter).

I have a bunch of AVI captures in a directory that I'd like to convert to MPEG2 format. I need to keep them around in case I need them, but I can't afford the space. So I want to compress them to MPEG.

Basically, all I need is a script that

1) starts a new Vegas project
2) adds an AVI file to the proeject
3) renders the project to MPEG2

If it does multiple AVIs in a loop, then that's great. But I have extensive programming background. So I can write the loops, etc. Mainly just need the class/method calls to do the above.

Thanks.
