The Internet Archive has about 2000 mpeg2 files that we would like to convert to .mp4's (want to avoid the .avi wrapped version of mpeg-4). Ideally this would be a script on linux so we can run this on a farm of machines. Using quicktime 6 with the mpeg2 plugin drops the audio (at least on osX).

Any hints would be wonderful.
