I recently started using HandBrake thanks to @gronostaj, who told me what settings to use. I then asked whether it’s possible to convert multiple files, either simultaneously or consecutively without having to manually select them each time.
This is what he told me:
“Here's how to convert multiple files at once: click Tools menu > Options and then Output Files in the left pane. Make sure that Automatically name output files is enabled and change Default Path to some folder. Then click Close at the bottom. Before clicking Start click the little arrow next to Add To Queue and click Add All, then Start.”
Seems easy enough, but then here’s what happened: I put in a path to a folder where I want my shrunken files to land, and closed the window. I hit “Source” to choose my source file and selected the folder. But when I hit “Add to Queue” and selected all, it only put in two files and gave me this error message when I hit “Start”:
“There are jobs on the queue with the same destination path. Please choose a different path for this job.”
What am I doing wrong?
