Mass Convert from wmv to mp4

Post by vrachimis655 »

Description of problem or question:
I have a few thousands of wmv files i need to convert to mp4. I tried with handbreak and it all works well when converting a single file. But when i add a folder in the que for conversion i am missing some step and can not get it done.

Below is what i am doing.
1. Dragging the folder to the Source Selection and the first video appears on the screen.
2. Select the folder in which the files will be saved.
3. Add all to que
4. Start encoding

Then only one file gets copied. So what am i missing here?

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.5.1

In Handbrake do you see the queue having files at all if you do that?
