This exact thing is easily done on linux. Just create a file in
/usr/local/bin, make it executable and put in it the following lines:

#!/bin/bash

mencoder -ovc raw -ofps 15 -oac pcm -vf
scale=220:-2,expand=220:176,format=bgr16 "$1" -o "new-$1"

You have to learn some scripting. You can extent nautilus context menu
very easily: just putting script (bash, perl, python) in
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and use zenity if you want a simple gui.
