exportvid: Export most video files to a chosen platform/format using ffmpeg
Version 0.3.1
Copyright (c) 2011,2013 Rowan Thorpe

Exportvid is a batch-script which exports most video files to a chosen
platform/format using ffmpeg (http://www.ffmpeg.org), which should be
installed separately, and be able to be found in the %PATH%).

Features
========

* Edit
* Drag and drop
* Portable (between different Windows systems >= NT)
* Small size
* Fully configurable
* Non-intrusive and easily disposable
* Simple
* Lean

Installation & Usage:
=====================

* If not using the auto-installer, unzip the exportvid package and open its
  "bin" directory.

* Drag-n-drop any video file onto the exportvid.cmd file. By default this will
  transcode to a high-quality format suitable for uploading to vimeo, and will
  create a similarly named file in the same directory as the input, with the
  extension ".mp4". For changing default drag-n-drop behaviour, edit
  "exportvid.cmd" and follow the comments near the top.

* If you want to properly "install" this tool, then copy the exportvid folder
  to somewhere like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\exportvid" (probably needing admin
  permissions), then right-click-and-drag the "exportvid.cmd" onto the desktop,
  clicking "create a shortcut" when given the option. Then you can drag the
  files onto that shortcut in the same fashion as above.

* exportvid.cmd can of course be used from scripts. Enter
  "[path-to]\exportvid.cmd -h" at a command prompt for usage message.

Motivations
===========

I wanted to be able to quickly and effectively prepare high-quality video for
certain platforms (particularly mobile and online) from any arbitrary Windoze
machine I might happen to be stuck on at the time, without having to install
various complex transcoding applications, for what is essentially a simple task
of scripting input to ffmpeg.

Please make bug reports, feature requests, nagging, and whatever to:

...but please understand that this is designed to a be a very small, simple and
convenient drag-n-drop tool (& easy/quick to read, therefore easy to trust), so
I am highly unlikely to implement many more "features" than it already has. I
am most interested in bug reports, security patches and improved ffmpeg
settings for video quality. If you want to make a bigger snazzier version of
this feel free to start your own project with those different (yet valid)
goals, or use one of the myriad large transcoding projects out there...
