You could try Poweroff 3.0 if your software has the option to close when it has completed its tasks. Poweroff will monitor running processes and execute when a selected process ends.

Poweroff can also schedule shutdowns if you so desire.

Check the program you're using to convert the files. Most of them have the option to shut down after the program finishes. You can also use Windows own Task Manager to schedule an automatic shutdown at a specific time.

Nope, it should work just fine, I've used it myself on a number of occasions. Back when I actually used to shut my computer down, that is.
