HandbrakePM    A tool to batch convert movies

This program converts a lot of video files via the Handbrake Command Line Interface application (HandbrakeCLI) - which means that you have to install Handbrake first. Then simply drag and drop video files (not folders, only files) onto the icon or window and when you are done, click the gears-icon in the toolbar to start the conversion process.

The application icon is from 177Designs. The nice toolbar icons come from Drew Wilson.
