So I'm doing a lot of transcodes and encodes in QuickTime Player- is there a script/automator action or command line interface that would allow me to send a batch list to QuickTime for encoding. The particular formats I use are not happy with Compressor so that's out. Any suggestions?

Mpeg Streamclip is your friend...

Thanks- yeah I've tried MPEG-Streamclip but it's not quite up to the task in this case which is converting to DPX with some specific format needs that only QTP can handle. All I need is a little table that lets me drag and drop en masse to QT Player.

Have you talked to Robert over at Gluetools? He might have an idea.

Yep- I'm using Gluetools- I'll give Bob a shout and see if he has any ideas.

If Bob doesn't have a solution I could write a little app which could do it.
Let me know

Bob didn't have anything that he could recommend. Basically something that gave 100% of the functionality of QuickTime's Export functions but as a droplet or simple list that allowed you to export clips from an entire folder or drag a bunch of clips with naming conventions and all that to the same export settings or different export settings would totally rock.

Noah,

I can't do the app for free - wife and dog need something to eat, daughter needs credit on her mobile
Drop me a mail at kiel at spherico dot com.

Well I'd be happy to buy the app if/when it's done and tell my friends all about it but I'm not a software developer.
