    What's the best way for me to convert a bunch of .mov files for my iPad? These are all video clips taken with a digital camera, the iPad doesn't support quicktime format of all things. Handbrake lets me do one at a time, but I was hoping to find something where I can drop in these 100 movs, and it just converts them so I can drop them onto the iPad and view through videos or the photos app.

    Any suggestions?
