Thank you for this great plugin.
As I develop on Windows, I have rewritten and expanded the script, I named this script “do_ffmpeg.bat”:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO "%~nx0" "%~1"
REM
REM # Windows-/DOS-Script
REM
REM This script ("do_ffmpeg.bat") takes any (high resolution) video file as input and converts it to MP4 (H264 & AAC), WebM (VP8 & Vorbis) and OGV (theora & vorbis) for HTML5 <video>. For each format, it creates a high quality ('.hq') and a low quality ('.lq') version.
REM
REM ffmpeg has to be installed, see http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ for downloads.
REM
REM Usage: do_ffmpeg.bat <inputfile>
REM
REM Tip: Drag the video file (inputfile) in the windows explorer and drop it on the icon of this script or the icon of a link to this script.

REM This is heavily inspired by

Good luck!
[Edited:]
The script has been revised (more robust against spaces in the paths and more informative).
