No, I just throw an entire directory at it and it crunches every file.
You can use wildcards with it too: 'dv2mkv *.dv'

I think taking some of the things from the perl script and doing it
all in bash is probably the best approach. Unfortunately, I won't be
able to do any work on it for at least 2 weeks as I have a bunch of
deadlines coming up.
