I would like to see a batch encode system for doing generic xvid+mp3 encoding, where i could have all the ripped VOB files on my hard-drive, ie, multiple folders containing the dvd's of a tv series, and then set it up to encode them all at once...

That way i could leave it encoding overnight whilst i slept, and not have to encode each dvd 1 at a time...

Not sure how much time and effort this would involve, but it sure would be useful when encoding lots of episodes on multiple dvds for a tv series...
