I currently use Corel's Video Studio to batch convert videos to a format Vimeo can eat. It does the job, but I found that even on a quad core processor it only uses two of the cores (ie, two threads). Further, I'm converting to mpeg2 due to the limitations in the h.264 codec that comes with video studio (doesn't seem to like HD video).

I need software that:

• Does batch conversions
• Supports HD video in and out with no problems
• supports
• Supports avchd m2ts input
• Is fine with 24fps
• Can be command line scripted
• Great support for MP4/h.264/etc codecs
• Windows

Preferably free, but I'm willing to pay for it if it's what I need and inexpensive (ie, $100 price range).

I'm interested in building an automated workflow, so if the software handles pre-roll, post-roll, overlay logos, titling, etc from a command line or script, even better!
