VDub wont load *.VCF files in command line mode.

[zzyzx2]

I can save my processing settings in Vdub and load them up using the normal GUI, but using a batch script for the command line it gives me an error:
....vcf is of an unknown or unsupported file type.


Here is the command line I am using:
I:\DESHAKER\VirtualDub\vdub.exe /c /s cut.vcf /p I:\DESHAKER\00000.MtS.avs %1.avi /r /x

[pcspeak]

Please post contents of cut.vcf

Looks OK to me. I'll run a couple of tests and get back to you.
I use Vdub in batch file mode all the time but without all the parameters you have.

[zzyzx2]

I'm actually not using ANY parameters. I just wanted to use h264 compression. Why the res of that stuff is there, I dont know.

[pcspeak]

Create 3 avs files and uses them as input to vdub.exe.
My test.vcf script gives me an output that is deinterlaced, resized and has Xvid compression.
Got 3 working AVI clips.

Input files are test001.mpg, test002.mpg, test003.mpg

for %%a in ("*.mpg") do echo directshowSource("%%~fa") > "%%~na.avs"
for %%a in ("*.avs") do "c:\VidAud\virtualdub\vdub.exe" /s test.vcf /p "%%a" "%%~na.avi" /r /c /x

Cheers.

[zzyzx2]

Cool little script. Seems simpler than mine. I will have to try it later, possible tomorrow and will let you know.

Thanks.

EDIT: Its working great. Now do you know a way to script it to use 2 vcf files (first pass and second pass) one file at a time? This script will work, but only if there is ONE file in the folder.


for %%a in ("*.mts") do echo directshowSource("%%~fa") > "%%~na.avs"
for %%a in ("*.avs") do "I:\DESHAKER\virtualdub\vdub.exe" /s I:\DESHAKER\virtualdub\cut.vcf /p "%%a" "%%~na.avi" /r /c /x
for %%a in ("*.avs") do "I:\DESHAKER\virtualdub\vdub.exe" /s I:\DESHAKER\virtualdub\cut2.vcf /p "%%a" "%%~na.avi" /r /c /x

Hi.
When you edit a post no email notification is sent out. I hadn't realised you had a question.
Best to make a new post.

It may be working.
The first line, pass1, is executed for ALL files in the folder.
Then the second line, pass2, is executed for ALL files in the folder.
So, if you have 23 files pass1 executes 23 times before pass2 starts.

[pcspeak]

A thought.
If you use the same AVS on the second pass then you are using the same MTS as for the first pass.
Should you be creating a new AVS, using the pass1 AVI output as input to pass2 rather than the MTS file?

[pcspeak]

Have not tested this thoroughly.
The second line is one long line in the script and should do 2 passes on each file. One at a time.
Note the join &&.

for %%a in ("*.mpg") do echo directshowSource("%%~fa") > "%%~na.avs"
for %%a in ("*.avs") do "c:\VidAud\virtualdub\vdub.exe" /s test1.vcf /p "%%a" "%%~na_P1.avi" /r /c /x && "c:\VidAud\virtualdub\vdub.exe" /s test2.vcf /p "%%~na_P1.avi" "%%~na.avi" /r /c /x

Luck

MINT!! The && fixed it up like a charm. Now I can encode all of my vids without babysitting them all the time.

Thanks alot for your help.

Also, I didnt reply to my own post as its normally not allowed on forums.

[pcspeak]

Thanks for your kind words.
