I noticed you're using h264enc if you look at the mencoder command at the end I can't see why you cant just use
something along the lines of
for i in /directory/* ; do mencoder command; done <== hopefully you get the gist, my bash is very noobish

Something like the above, or perhaps email the dev for the app you may find a favourable result. I find keeping it upto date is frequent.

Re: [DONE] h264enc. a way to automate lot of files encoding

Done! hope someone found it useful

i use it this way:
enc2h264 hq 96 700 file1.avi && enc2h264 hq 96 700 file2.avi && enc2h264 hq 96 700 file3.avi ...
because i dont want to compress every avi in my dir, only some wich i want to select

#!/bin/bash
#Encode to h264 script
#video codec: h264
#audio codec: mp3 ABR
#container: AVI
#usage: enc2h264 [preset: hq,vhq,uhq] [audiobitrate] [videobitrate] [filename]
#usage: enc2h264 hq 64 700 filename.avi
#usage: enc2h264 $1 $2 $3  $4
#
if [ "$1" = "hq" ]; then
