rem To use, simply drag and drop a video onto this .bat file, and it will
rem be transcoded to a file with the same filename with .m2v appended.

rem Some files will not be successfully transcoded. This is due to the
rem fact that mpeg2 video only allows several specific framerates.
rem If your source file frame rate doesn't comply, try adding fps=25
rem or fps=29.97 in #transcode{...,<add it here>}:std{...}
