How to automatically convert all video files in a folder at a scheduled time?

Question

More specifically, how do I convert MPG files to 3GP everyday at 3.00am?

C:\TV\*.mpg -> C:\TV\*.3gp

It would be more convenient if one video converter program could do all of this but I'm open to using different tools and command line scripting if needed.

Answer 1

Use FFmpeg and write a batch script to control FFmpeg through the command line. Once the script works as expected, use Windows Scheduler to run the script everyday at 3.00am
