Can anyone tell me how to do batch resize settings in Virtualdub?

[Guernsey]

I have multiple videos that I want to resize and encode but can anyone tell me how to do things like that?

[JVRaines]

File/Queue batch operation then File/Job control.

File/Queue batch operation then File/Job control.

Does this apply to Virtualdub2? All I have File/Queue Batch Operation:


> Run Video Analysis Wizard
> Save As
> Save as Old Format AVI
> Save as Segmented AVI
> Save Image sequence
> Save WAV
--------------------

> Export RAW Audio
> Export RAW Video
> Export using External Encoder

---------------------

> Batch Wizard

Can you elaborate for me with Virtualdub2?

Once something has been queued, you can use the F4 key to open Job Control

Okay I think I figured it out now. Thanks.

Once something has been queued, you can use the F4 key to open Job Control

Never was necessary, you can go straight to Job Control.

The basic idea is that most settings including filters are also applied to jobs queued through Job Control->Batch Wizard or Job Control->Process Directory.
So you have to setup the Resize filter the way you want and then queue a bunch of files.

How do you make sure that you apply the same settings on your current video to your batched videos?

[davexnet]

I don't understand the question. The settings that are used are those that were in place when the job was queued.

I sometimes make the mistake of not setting up the batch to the settings that I want and I get a huge file sizes videos as opposed to the one I established before.

I think I keep making the same mistake on not applying the settings to the video being queued. It seems like very time I go for Job Control for the queued videos, it also goes for the uncompressed as opposed to the codec and resize settings I established. I think I might be missing something, can anyone hlp me with this? I think I am missing something.

So the problem is you're a klutz who always forgets to set the compression settings? If you always use the same settings you can save them to a script and make your VirtualDub shortcut load them. Then you can't forget anymore.

1. start VirtualDub
2. set compression/filters as wanted
3. "File"->"Save processing settings" to "whatever.vdscript" (e.g. in "C:\scripts\").
4. Change/create VirtualDub shortcut to "C:\programmes\VirtualDub\VirtualDub.exe" /s "C:\scripts\whatever.vdscript"


(File and folder names are examples. Adjust as needed/wanted.)

It is true and yet very sad. I keep forgetting to apply the settings to my batched videos and so it goes to uncompressed by default.
