    Does there exist any kind of a simple MacOSX utility that can take a given image and find whether the image is on the screen (perhaps with a certain variance threshold) and then automate a position of the mouse cursor and/or click on the area which matches the image?

    Please don't respond about how this is a terrible idea and shouldn't be done. This is an important task for testing and cannot be easily accomplished by triggering events or the like.

    Yes, Sikuli. It does just what you want, looks for images and clicks them. It uses a simple scripting language so it can do other things, other than just clicking. Such as typing into a text box.

    It's unclear exactly what you are trying to do. If you are simply trying to batch process video files you can use something like VLC media player to perform batch conversions.
