I would like to build an application that can help me convert items for my IPhone automatically. I have a program that downloads new media files and places them into a directory each day. I need a program that can scan a given directory and look for new files. If new files are found then they are added to queue and encoded using cmd line tools such as ffmpeg.exe.
You don't have to any knowledge of encoding for this job, I simply would like to be able to tell the program when it finds a new file, to execute a cmd that will start the encoding process. When the encoding is completed I would like for the Program to send the original file to another directory for backup and send the encoded file to another directory.
I would like to have a feature where depending on what the date is, encoded files will be placed into folders named accordingly. So all files downloaded today would be into a folder named 27JUL08 or something like that.
I can explain more to the winning bidder, but that is pretty much all I need.
So once more the program must scan a set directory for files every X minutes (configurable)
If files are found, encode them using ffmpeg for instance, then move source file and encoded file to defined directories.
I have attached a simple mockup of what the GUI might look like.
## Deliverables
I have attached a VERY crude sample GUI I created to give you an better idea of the configurable options.
I would like for the code to be documented so I can possibly play around with it after its done :-)
If you have any questions please let me know.
