This script is created to run inside of Sonic Foundry's Video Vegas 4.0c or higher. It will launch a window that will monitor specified directories for .veg files to render. I created one dir called 'To Encode' and under it there is a directory for each template I use. So, I have render templates called TvShow86 and TvShow93 and directories called the same. The names do not have to match, but I prefer them to. The script is configured to render .veg files it finds under "To Encode/TvShow86" using the TvShow86 template. I usually just ftp the files over to one of two machines I use for rendering. That way all they do is render!

I plan to make the settings menu driven.

Here is the script in action:
