After you add the first video via the Encode Video for PSP... menu additional videos are added here with the + button.
If you decide that you don't want to convert a video, click the - button to remove it from the queue. When you are satisfied with your choices and are redy to begin, click the Start button.
The Conversion Process
After you press the Start button, the Queue Window is used to display status information about jobs that are running, yet to begin and finished:
For each job, the Queue Window shows information about the video file settings. If a job is running, realtime status information (current number of frames being processed every second, current bitrate being used and how many seconds of the source video have been processed) is shown. When a job is clicked, the settings information is displayed in white text and realtime stats are displayed in black. In addtion, the upper area one the Queue Windows displays a more detailed summary of the currently running job's settings.
