Can VBscript/Batch read MPEG file?

[Cazz]

Hi
I have now a basic but nice scriptcode in batch that I can easy create AVI for the program I recording on TV.

The problem is this

I have some MPEG file that I like to convert, and I use Mencoder (Love that program).

That I do is open my Batch file and add line to each MPEG file, I have to look if that is in 4:3 or 16:9 the source.
Then I have to open a biterate Calculator to have have a good size of my movie (I have a little rule that biterate have to be over 1000 for a movie)
After that I start the batch file and it start to create the AVI file


Now I was thinking maybe create a file (Batch or VBscript) that can read the MPEG size and length, So I just have to add the MPEG file in a folder and then run the script.

But can VBscript/Batch read MPEG file??

You can't read MPEG files directly in VBScript, but you can use an ActiveX build of MediaInfo in VBScript . See http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/.../SDK/ReadFirst for more details (there are VBScript examples included in the download).

I dont find any information. I dont like to program a VB program or C, just clean VBscript.

Do you know where I can read about how I can make a VBscript to read MPEG file?

Hmm... I suspect that you have downloaded the wrong version, as I can clearly see the VBScript example.

1. Go to the download page and select the Windows version.
2. Then download the DLL version (32 bit or 64 bit, which every one you require).
3. Install\extract the exe\7z
4. Then navigate to the "Developers\Contrib\ActiveX\Example" directory

Sorry guys but I am useing Windows 7 and I don't find this directory you are referring to. There is no Developers folder in the root, in Program Files, in Program Files\MediaInfo, in Program Files\MediaInfo.dll\ or in the Windows directory. I have done a search for Contrib as well but nothing.

Sorry for being a pain but could someone post the VBScript samples?

I have searched the net but nothing so far.

No, I think you've downloaded the wrong file. Go to the Windows download page and download the DLL version of MediaInfo (download the 32-bit version if you want the VBScript examples as it is currently omitted from the 64-bit version). I suggest downloading the zip version (without installer) so that you can find the files much easier.

Thanks very much, can't believe it was that simple. Now I am having a different problem, can't register the dll file. Get the error: The module ... was loaded but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found.

Any ideas.

Which DLL are you trying to register (there's more than one)?

Navigate to the ..\Contrib\ActiveX\Release directory, and you should find the correct DLL, along with useful install\uninstall batch scripts.
