batch process .ncr files from panasonic

[bsabiston]

Hi,

I have a wireless webcam from Panasonic, and it has recorded a bunch of video data over the course of a month. The files are in this .ncr format however, and the only way I know to convert it to something I can use (mpeg) is to use the recording software's 'convert to mpeg' dropdown menu. But this only converts one file, and there are dozens of them, if not hundreds.

How can I convert these files all at once, is there any way?

Thanks!
Bob

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same "problem" now. about 1000 ncr files.

Anyone had any luck with this?
Would be great to have a batch conversion utility.... or AT LEAST in the software - just like how it has "delete" or "delete all checks"... why can't it have "Convert" and "Convert all checks"???
That would be a start!
But a backround running batch conversion utility would be awesome....

try if VLC would open those files
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
plug ins

if it can open them, then you can use it to batch convert and even do scripting for it.

- VLC won't play it.
- GSpot can't tell me what format it is
- MediaInfo can't tell me what format it is
