Adobe Media Encoder
- this program is part of Creative Cloud, and makes it very easy to batch encode many files at once
Tips
- be sure to clean up the cache files after using because they take up a lot of space and it seems that Adobe doesn't do a good job at this (adjust location if not using the default)
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Common/Media\ Cache\ Files/*
preferred presets
- see how many vertical pixels your input file has, and use the corresponding Apple preset at 29.97fps:
- if input file is 480 high, use “Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4 and newer - 480p Widescreen 29.97, H.264”
- if input file is 720 high, use “Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4 and newer - 720p Widescreen 29.97, H.264”
- if input file is 1080 high, use “Apple iPad 2, iPhone 4S - 1080p 29.97, H.264”
