DGPulldown and Command Line Question

[Maikeru-sama]

This command line I got from someone on this site and is in a batch file and wherever this batch file resides, it will loop through and get all the ".mpv" files and do a pulldown on them.

<command>
for %%a in ("*.mpv") do "D:\Storage\source\exe\dgpulldown1011\DGPulldown.exe" %%a -srcfps 23.976 -destfps 29.97 -o dgp_%%a
</command>

In DOS, how can I make it to where the output "-o" goes into a directory that I specify? I have looked all over the Internet and cannot find the answer. As of now, it goes into the same directory and I would like to get rid of the "dgp_" and have it go into another directory.

-o \outputdirectory\%%a

[Maikeru-sama]

-o \outputdirectory\%%a

Thanks for the response.

I get pop up errors saying it cannot open the output directory. I think it is because the output directory has spaces in it, any ideas?

[Soopafresh]

-o "\Output Directory With spaces\%%a"

[Maikeru-sama]

-o "\Output Directory With spaces\%%a"

Hmm, I changed it to c:\temp and still got the error.

Let me try changing it back to the directory with spaces and try your way.

Thanks for your patience

If you run this from the command line, you have to remove 1 of the % from the variables. If you run it from a batch file, you keep both %% in the script.

%a = command line

%%a = batch file

I am running it from the batch file. Meaning I click on the batch file.

Here is what I have tried:

-o "c:\temp\%%a"
-o c:\temp%%a
-o \c:\temp\%%a
-o "\c:\temp\%%a"

None seem to work

Try
for %%a in ("*.mpv") do "D:\Storage\source\exe\dgpulldown1011\DGPulldown.exe" "%%a" -srcfps 23.976 -destfps 29.97 -o "c:\temp\%%a"

You're a genius dude, that worked.

So if I want to have this run through the command line, I need to use 1 % instead of 2 correct?

[Soopafresh]

Yeah, it'll complain if you try 2 %% from the command line
