need some batch file help

[iamspuzzum]

Posting this here, as it's more about scripting than encoding.

I'm currently converting 4 seasons of a series for my omnia2 winmo phone. I have my standard settings/script, but want to make it universal, by allowing input datas (names/directories) to be inserted "once" in the beginning, then have the script insert the data as needed.

Here's where I am so far...

@echo off
cd /d "C:\x264 tools\"

%input% == F:\weeds\1-05\1.05.avs
%output% == E:\weeds\season_1\1-1-05\1.05
%chapters% == F:\weeds\1-05\chapters.txt
%stats% == C:\x264 tools\stats\stats.stat

@x264.exe --profile baseline --level 3 --slow-firstpass  --pass 1 --bitrate 1200 --vbv-bufsize 10000 --vbv-maxrate 10000 --ratetol 50 --stats "%stats%" --ref 2 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --scenecut 40 --rc-lookahead 40 --no-fast-pskip --bframes 0 --no-cabac --deblock -3:-3 --subme 6 --trellis 0 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4 --no-8x8dct --me esa --merange 64 --sar 1:1 --fps 23.976 --threads 2 --thread-input --output NUL "%input%"
echo+
@x264.exe --profile baseline --level 3 --pass 2 --bitrate 1200 --vbv-bufsize 10000 --vbv-maxrate 10000 --ratetol 1 --stats "%stats%" --ref 2 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --scenecut 40 --rc-lookahead 40 --no-fast-pskip --bframes 0 --no-cabac --deblock -3:-3 --subme 6 --trellis 0 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4 --no-8x8dct --me esa --merange 64 --sar 1:1 --fps 23.976 --threads 2 --thread-input --output "%output%.mp4" "%input%"
echo+
@bepipe.exe --script "import(^%input%^)" | faac.exe -b 128 - -o "%output%.audio.mp4"
echo+
@mp4box.exe -add "%output%.audio.mp4" "%output%.mp4" -chap "%chapters%" -itags "name=1.05: Lude Awakening:artist=Weeds:album=Season 1:album_artist=Weeds:created=2006:track=5"
@if not errorlevel 1 del "%output%.audio.mp4"
pause

I've even tried %1, %2, %3, but both ways fail to load the files into x264.exe.

Any advice greatly appreciated

cheers

This link may be of help http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-129415.html for some batch file examples.

This quote from the link may help with setting up the x264 parameters.

thanks Safesurfer

I saved that page, and will try tonight.

Greatly appreciated.. thanks again

%input% == F:\weeds\1-05\1.05.avs
%output% == E:\weeds\season_1\1-1-05\1.05
%chapters% == F:\weeds\1-05\chapters.txt
%stats% == C:\x264 tools\stats\stats.stat

change to

set input = F:\weeds\1-05\1.05.avs
set output = E:\weeds\season_1\1-1-05\1.05
set chapters = F:\weeds\1-05\chapters.txt
set stats = C:\x264 tools\stats\stats.stat

Your work will be easier if you don't use file or directory names with spaces in them, so consider renaming c:\x264 tools to c:\x264_tools

thanks Soopafresh.. this is what I came up with from the link Safesurfer suggested.

pause

or setting up and calling a script as needed:

@echo off

pause

@echo off

@echo+
@bepipe.exe --script "import(^%input_file%.avs^)" | faac.exe -b %audio_bitrate% - -o "%output_file%.audio.mp4"
@echo+
@mp4box.exe -add "%output_file%.audio.mp4" "%output_file%.mp4" -chap "%chapters_file%.txt" -itags "name=1.06: Dead in the Nethers:artist=Weeds:album=Season 1:album_artist=Weeds:created=2006:track=6"
@if not errorlevel 1 del "%output_file%.audio.mp4" "%stats_file%.*"
@echo+

Then I can set up 3 or 4 batches a night, then call with another batch - just need to remove "pause" from each individual script, or it will pause after each


run.bat=

@echo off

call "F:\weeds\1-06\1.06.bat"
@echo+
call "F:\weeds\1-07\1.07.bat"
@echo+
call "F:\weeds\1-08\1.08.bat"
@echo+
#call "F:\weeds\1-09\1.09.bat"
@echo+
pause

I see what you mean by spaces though, as my input used to be "*\weeds - separated\*\*". I tried the linux way with "/ /" for spaces, but didn't like that

But "x264 stuffs" seems to be fine... after putting in quotes


cheers, and again, a huge thanks.. I'd still be fighting a week down the road otherwise

[Soopafresh]

Good job, you figured this stuff out quickly

[iamspuzzum]

Thanks

I goofed, but caught it before my next video... everything would've been tagged the same otherwise :doh!:
