Script to automate rendering of multiple identical compositions

Hi guys,

Hoping there is an easy way to do this. I regularly have to digitise old video tapes and chop them up into 20 minutes segments and then render them out to sit on our intranet. Right now, I use Scenalyser to timer record the tapes, Premiere to edit the sequences then I import the project into AE, set the comp sizes to 640x480, shrink the PAL DV videos to fit and add them to the render queue.

Is there any way to automate the manual composition size setting and video scaling (it's always 87%) and render queue addition?
