First you need to download this script from here and extract. Then do one or more of these with the file "avconvert":
(1) move (or copy or link) it to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
(2) move (or copy or link) it to somewhere in $PATH (eg /usr/local/bin)
(3) do #2, then add it as a nautilus-action (set "paramater" to "%M", check "multiple files")
(4) add it to Gnome panel/launch-bar (drag/drop or right-click panel Add/Custom-Application)

The script did not work only from ~/gnome2/nautilus_scripts/ folder without a link into $PATH. Because I do not like to copy or link something into the system, I’ve removed the line “whereis avconvert…”. The script works now without having a PATH entry.
Excellent script! Kudos to the author for creating such awesome code.
Thank you, Evilzee
