Answer 1

Adobe media encoder is 'officially' not scriptable but we can use extend script API for scripting AME. Below functions are available through extend script

1.Adding a file to batch

Encode progress

host = App.GetEncoderHost (); 

enc = EHost.CreateEncoderForFormat ( "QuickTime");

flag = Enc.LoadPreset ( "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48 kHz"); 
an if (flag) { 
f = enc.encodeEncodeProgress 
= function (progress) { 
$ .writeln (progress); 
} 
eHost. enc.encode ("/ Users / test / Desktop / 00000.MTS", "/Users/test/Desktop/0.mov"); 
} else { 
alert ("The preset could not be loaded "); 
} 

encode end

ehost = App.GetEncoderHost (); 
enc = EHost.CreateEncoderForFormat ( "QuickTime"); 
flag = Enc.LoadPreset ( "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48 kHz"); 
an if (flag) { 
f = enc.onEncodeFinished 
= function (success) { 
if (success) { 
alert ("Successfully encoding has ended "); 
} Else { 
Alert (" failed to encode "); 
} 
} 
EHost.RunBatch (); 
} Else { 
Alert (" preset could not be read "); 
} 

2.Start batch

eHost = app.getEncoderHost (); 

eHost.runBatch (); 

3.Stop batch

eHost = app.getEncoderHost ();

eHost.stopBatch (); 

4.Pause batch

eHost = app.getEncoderHost (); 

eHost.pauseBatch ();

5.Getting preset formats

EHost = App.GetEncoderHost (); 

List = EHost.GetFormatList (); 

6.getting presets

eHost = app.getEncoderHost (); 

enc = eHost.createEncoderForFormat ("QuickTime"); 

list = enc.getPresetList (); 

and many more...

The closest bits of info I've found are: http://www.openspc2.org/book/MediaEncoderCC/

The latter resource is actually good, if you can read japanese, or at least use the Chrome built-in translate function, then you can see it has resources such as this one:

We can perform almost all basic functionalities through script.
