Anyone know of a way to render a folder full of avi files to mpg and ac3? The only way I know of is one at a time. Would like to be able to do like batch converter does for audio.

Thanks,
JAB

Well Vegas has a batch render function under scripting. I'd just drop the contents of the folder on the vegas timeline - select each chunk as a region - go to batch render and select what I want to render em' as and then crank em' out.

Fastest way I can think of off hand...

Wonderful!

I have used batch render often but never saw the regions option. This will save me a ton of time!

Thanks,

I have a whole series of scripts that do different kinds of batch rendering. Some render all the AVI files in a folder. Some will render all the VEG files in a folder. Some will render the current project to multiple formats (like MPEG and AC-3). I have another that will render each region in a project to separate media files.

I probably have others. I just checked all my Vegas script folders, and I have seven different scripts with the word "batch" in them. If you want them, send me an email.
