Encode, rename, upload, tag

Spent all putting together a workflow so I can encode, rename, upload and tag the video files from Bournemouth. First up the files are archived as flv's and Archive.org, and the WikiMedia commons do not allow proprietary codecs, therefore they only allow .ogv or .ogg files. I managed to find a ogg binaries for Quicktime here, meaning I could batch export the flv's. Then needed to rename the files from the native upload names using this. After that each file needs a csv of all the metadata, which can then be linked to via a RDF dump. Usefully Archive.org makes this metadata available as xml for both the parent project and the video files, so w should be able to use this in the RDF ?
