Batch demux of DVB radio broadcasts to MP2 with Project X?

[smilingcrow]

I use Project X to demux DVB radio broadcasts to MP2 successfully, but can’t get it to work in batch mode in the way I’d like. If I drag a bunch of files into Project X it demuxes them all into one output file. How do I get it to output the files individually? Or is there a better tool for the job.

You can use something else to call ProjectX for each file via the command line.

For example, here's a simple batch file.

@echo off

for %%i in (%1) do (
echo ----------------------------------------------------------
echo demuxing stream %%i to MP2 %%i.mp2
echo.
if exist %%i.mp2 echo %%i.mp2 already exists - skipping.
if not exist %%i.mp2 "c:\Program Files\ProjectX_0.90.4.00\ProjectX.exe" -demux %%i -name %%i.mp2
)

Save in a file called px.cmd and call with px *.mpa (or whatever extension your captured files have).

That batch file is very simple and could be greatly improved. For streams captured from my DVB-T card I wrote a C program to call pvastrumento in a similar way, but unfortunately I can't get pvastrumento to process the files produced by my DVB-S hardware.
