I am having trouble figuring out the syntax for mp4box. I want to use mp4box to extract the h264 and aac from some mp4 files. I want to do these in a batch file so command line is prefered rather than a gui like yamb unless there is a gui that allows for batch processing (yamb doesn't as far as I know).
Thanks for the help.

Working with MP4box is tricky. At least it was for me
Yeah, you have to add in the commands a certain way, I think in a certain order for it to properly work else unpredictable or blank screen. That's what I would get in my gui. But, then I capture every "char" from the console's pipe in real time so that I don't have to have an actual (hidden) window lurking around. So, the buggyness I see might sometimes be on account of the way I have the dos's data output piping into one of my logs on screen. I find that some CLI tools act strange cause of this, but its still worth it once the kinks our ironed out -- and I have a lot of CLI tools feeding into my Tools Suite
(What I do when I want to try my hand at a partiluar function within a cli tool is select the given cli tool that features the function. There could be multiple tools featuring a given function.. i.e., ffmpeg and mencoder are examples. But its interesting to see the outcome of each tools results or performance by this sort of functionality)
But, what I do is set up a mini-help file in my HELP TAB and capture the initial output screen of the cli tool. Then I overlay it with the rest of the help files as one main or master help file. It surves as a genernal help resource instead of re-runing another dos console with the -h command every time I forget the commands of a particular tool. I used to fall in that hole every time, till I got wise
I don't know, I guess at the very least, the above could serve as a tip or too. Good luck..

Jagabo's advice if looking up the command line from the yamb log was great. I found the exact command line structure I was looking for.

This wasn't anything I was planning on adding to my own software. Just a one time project. I really like that idea for the help tab though.
Thanks again guys for the inspiration.Donadagohvi (Cherokee for "Until we meet again")
