Not just AVI. Also added another example.

By now members have probably realized that I want my final video clips to be:
XviD encoded AVI/MP3
I'm sort of stuck in a Rock 'n' Roll/Line Dancing fix.
The above format plays on, pretty much, all dvd players.
That's how my mate's students want it.

Cheers.

Note:
I have 3 internal drives. Drive C: is a SSD.
I've modified my batch file to output to two destinations.
c:\vid1\ --> d:\vid1\ (vid1-D.cmd)
c:\vid2\ --> e:\vid2\ (vid2-E.cmd)

I split the videos between the input folders and run both batch files at the same time.
This gives approx. 33% reduction in total processing time.
Still allows me to do other things.

This is not really the way to go with no SSD.
There will be a lot of drive thrashing and drive life will be reduced.

Cheers.

@ pcspeak & _Al_

The long format helps me grasp the short format.
Keep going.

[pcspeak]

Nice one _Al_.

I started this batch file well over 2 years ago.
It was only to handle one type of video out of my JVC camera.
It just grew.

I'm not too worried about the size of the batch file.
I realized that others may want to change the batch file to suit.
Hence the variables to make MY most often changes, simple.

I, sort of, agree with sambat. When I revisit I like to have as much detail as convenient.

Thanks for your input. I WILL borrow 1 or 2 techniques.
Thanks to you too, sambat.

Cheers

[RosalieFPigg]

Nice.

[pcspeak]

@ _Al_
I made a couple of changes to your batch file to suit my DOS environment.

After running the batch file exactly per your post the output video on my pc
didn't had the correct name, just the input parameter description.
\AVI\%~n1.avi
I changed the format of some parameters.
Now works here.

I never use SETLOCAL & ENDLOCAL
Added a few cosmetic spaces for readability.
(If a file has to take up a 4k sector then I'm going to use up to the full 4k.)

Yes, I left double %% there

-double "%%" characters is in that for ... in ...
-one "%" character, if it suppose to be passed variable from a function (our function/subroutine is "process")

also change:
if not exist "%%~n1-0.log"
to:
if not exist "%~n1-0.log"

and
if not exist "AVI\%%~n1.avi"
to:
if not exist "AVI\%~n1.avi"

[pcspeak]

This is a slight rehash of a batch file I posted earlier in this thread.
It uses a couple of recommendations suggested by _Al_.
The output is AVI.

The video filters have not changed, much.

Please note the following methods are not my innovation.
Greater minds have been at work.

The input audio is expected to be 6channel (5.1).
Output will be 2channel (stereo).

An attempt is made to reduce the volume of all audio except
the actor's dialogue, which I suspect is the centre channel(s).
Then the audio is normalized.
The output audio will have the volume enhanced to increase
the level of very soft sounds, and the peak volumes reduced
to remove "most" clipping.

If the input audio is 2channel?
The filter is set to do only the normalization.

I've tested it on 2 DVDs (5.1) and 1 web download (stereo).
The download was a reality show. Which show? Don't ask. I'm not proud of myself.

I've been happy with the results. It's removed, mostly, the need to tweak the audio with Audacity.

I changed the settings of the paths to ffmpeg and MI to reflect your settings and it worked.

This was where I had it set to reflect my path and it failed - must be a problem.

Single quotes outside double quotes. Not sure how this comes about.

Cheers.

[sambat]

Simply placing quotes just around the path failed, thus:

set ffmpeg="C:\Program Files (x86)\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"

I placed the quotes immediately in front of ffmpeg and it worked, thus:

set "ffmpeg=C:\Program Files (x86)\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"

Seems to be no consensus when it comes to spaces and quotes.
The last line in the fifth post was how I fixed it.

[pcspeak]

Allowing spaces in file names, whilst handy, has been a real pain for batch coders. And full on programmers.
Thousands upon thousands of errors have occurred because of.

I can live with:
Programs
ProgramFiles
ProgramFiles-x86
MyDocs
Documents
MyDocuments
etc. etc. etc.

One of those Microsoft decisions that, in hindsight, was a bad one.
Mind you, long file names are a good thing.
Microsoft seems to think so too.

'C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DeliveryOptimization\f9b50ea393d519f560d8fd6bc7947e7cfdaf8095\'

And not a space in sight.
8.3 file names were starting to get seriously vague.

Anyhoo, it keeps us on our toes.

@pandy
Sorry. You're on your own.

p.s. Op shops. Weekend markets. garage sales. Average price $2.00 for a scratch free DVD. Release dates are from 5-10 years ago.
I start with DVDShrink. Preferences: Target=DVD-9, 1 VOB(no splitting). Default language - Eng. Audio 5.1. Forced subs. Then Re-author.

DVDDecrypter with similar preferences as above.
vobmerge still works for me.

Basically I end up with a single VOB containing the subs and audio I want. I feed it to my batch files.
I have an almost identical batch file to the one above that outputs an MP4.

Forced subs only? We'd best start a new thread.

[raffriff42]

I use:

set ffmpeg=C:\Program Files (x86)\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe
...
"%ffmpeg%" etc...

SET can accept values with spaces. It's the command line that can't.

I don't know how this:

set "ffmpeg=C:\Program Files (x86)\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"

works for you. It does not work for me:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[pandy]

@pandy
Sorry. You're on your own.

I know... i had idea but it will be not elegant for sure (in command line - with some language like python it should be quite easy).

[pcspeak]

We could just leave the space out.

Windows x32
set ffmpeg=C:\Progra~1\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe
Windows x64
set ffmpeg=C:\Progra~2\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe


Spaces and the length of the path string are the reason I just download the latest ffmpeg and 7unzip it to where I want it.

Eeeek!!! Edit. Edit. Edit.

Guys I have plenty of subroutines that one can simply call with "CALL variable1 variable2 ..." function. They rather be within script otherwise firewalls complain and it is not that nice if they are all in some BAT file (like "DVavi helper.zip" was done years back). Those subroutines can be just stocked at the bottom of the same script out of sight, making that script more clean. Those subroutines can be submerged into themselves, I myself have 5-6 levels submerged and it simply works ...

These subroutines can get mediainfo into variables, check avisynth output (before actually you render a video), autocrop etc.
I can post them here one by one slowly to not overwhelm anyone or let some time for questions
First thing you do though is to get Notepad++ , copy/paste script in there, set language to batch and it is much more easier to read in script

First basic one is getting mediainfo from video into variables, you need to download mediainfo CLI from here not mediainfo from mediainfo website first

Jagabo years back introduced here that wonderful idea of dropping files on batch file, which has exactly the the same effect as writing command line manually.
So taking above example, you grab any video file and you drop it on batch file getting mediaifo on screen and in variables that you can sort out later for any purpose:

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
echo video mediainfo into variables

set "mediainfo=C:\tools\Mediainfo CLI\Mediainfo.exe"
set "temp_folder=C:\Temp"

if not exist "%temp_folder%" echo creating temp folder: "%temp_folder%"& MD "%temp_folder%"

call :run_mediainfo "%~1"

echo.
echo MediaInfo reports:
if defined serving echo video: frame serving %format%,%w% x %h%, %fps% fps, ar^=%ar%, %duration%
if not defined serving echo video: %format%, %w% x %h%, %fps% fps, %scan_type%, %scan_order%, ar^=%ar%, %cs%, %ch_sub%, %duration%
echo audio: sampling rate %sampling%
echo.
ENDLOCAL&echo press any key to exit&pause>nul&exit
rem here youpaste that :run_mediainfo subroutine

the only change from above script is deleting that line where you defined video and writing %~1 instead of %video% while calling :run_mediainfo

You might create batch script where dropping videofile on batch script would bring same text view as installed mediainfo does. So you dot need to install media info at all. You just use portable version, CLI version. You do not need to call :run_mediainfo for this:

@echo off
SETLOCAL
echo video mediainfo into text output

set "mediainfo=C:\tools\Mediainfo CLI\Mediainfo.exe"
set "temp_folder=C:\Temp"
if not exist "%temp_folder%" MD "%temp_folder%"
"%mediainfo%" "%~1" > "%temp_folder%\mediainfo.txt"
START  "notepad.exe" "%temp_folder%\mediainfo.txt"
ENDLOCAL&exit

About allowed character in batch scripts. Batch is not tolerant much at all with these characters: | & < > ^ . But those are not allowed in paths and filenames so this illegal check does not bother with these for now. But you have to be careful about characters in filenames and their paths as well, because when scripts get more elaborate other characters might be a problem especially some foreign language characters while using those paths within Avisynth and you are in trouble, so I have one subroutine that allows only alphabetic characters , numbers, spaces or . _-:\ . These are usually no trouble at all. So this script checks paths first, if one of those found:& ^ + ( ) @ # $ { } [ ] ' ; , ` % " and foreign characters then it gives error.Maybe it is overkill, some scripts would work with many of those not allowed characters but just to be sure, it is batch script.

So here is a batch, you can drop a video file on it and it tests paths used in script, just subroutine is called for particular path (in that script dropped videofile and mediainfo path):

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
echo video mediainfo into variables

set "mediainfo=C:\tools\Mediainfo CLI\Mediainfo.exe"
set "temp_folder=C:\Temp"

set "fail="
call :illegal_character_check "%temp_folder%"

if not defined serving echo video: %format%, %w% x %h%, %fps% fps, %scan_type%, %scan_order%, ar^=%ar%, %cs%, %ch_sub%, %duration%
echo audio: sampling rate %sampling%
echo.

if exist "%var%" goto :eof
set fail=yes
echo Did not pass illegal character check:
echo "%~1"
echo remove illegal characters to avoid problems with this batch script or Avisynth
echo.
goto :eof


rem here you paste that :run_mediainfo subroutine

Note: you have to add that :run_mediainfo to that script, also removing that:

if defined fail ENDLOCAL&echo press any key to exit&pause>nul&exit

script might finish even with one of those illegal characters in paths, because in this case it would not matter

MediaInfoCLI can find out only one concrete thing using other method but unfortunately this method cannot find scan order or chroma and some other things:

@echo off
SETLOCAL
echo video mediainfoCLI

set "mediainfo=C:\tools\Mediainfo CLI\Mediainfo.exe"
set "temp_folder=C:\Temp"
if not exist "%temp_folder%" MD "%temp_folder%"

"%Mediainfo%" --Inform=Video;%%FrameRate%% "%~1" > "%temp_folder%\temp.tmp"
set /p fps=<"%temp_folder%\temp.tmp"
echo Mediainfo reports: fps=%fps%

ENDLOCAL&echo press any key to exit&pause>nul&exit

--Inform=Video
means that it is looked only in video section not audio section
more in manual that is included when you download MediainfoCLI.zip
So advantage: you do not need to parse anything to get the value, you get it right away
disadvantage: not all video properties can be found using this (above method parsing mediainfo.txt file yes)

EDIT: downloading latest mediainfo CLI it detects even scan order, chroma subsumpling, I think everything it suppose to. maybe I messed up something before, .., so this method might be used to get any video parameters. All parameters that can be found could be printed running this BAT, the list is long so it is better to print it in txt file, in this case parameters.txt rather that print it in command prompt:

@echo off
SETLOCAL
echo video mediainfoCLI

set "mediainfo=C:\tools\Mediainfo CLI\Mediainfo.exe"
set "temp_folder=C:\Temp"
if not exist "%temp_folder%" MD "%temp_folder%"

Now that script above could be modified to add a subroutine that checks if there is a syntax error in the script. Just syntax error, not if script is functioning well or proper filters were used etc.

This is done by creating a wrapper for original avisynth script and loading that into avsmeter (make sure it is latest), it could be virtualdub or something else, point is just to load it somewhere and it would create error log if there is syntax error, then if that happens error info is printed in command prompt:

AvsMeter is a great utility, not only to analyze speed, but also it can get video properties coming out of Avisynth script, that could be really handy sometimes. Like check frame rate, width, height before video is even actually encoded, before video really exists and more importantly it could be handy to get those values into batch script variables, so time is not wasted to actually encode it first if script processes things automatically.
avsmeter command line could be:
"avsmeter.exe" "my_script.avs" -log
where log is specified in avsmeter.ini, that is in the same folder as avsmeter.exe

so for example to get frame rate, height and width coming out of avisynth script, drop avisynth file onto this batch script,
correct the path for avsmeter first depending where it is in your PC:

@echo off
echo Getting some avisynth script output properties into variable with avsmeter utility

if "%~1" =="" echo you need to drop avisynth script file onto this batch script & pause& goto :eof

if exist "%temp%" set "temp_folder=%temp%"
if not exist "%temp_folder%" set "temp_folder=C:\temp"
if not exist "%temp_folder%" MD "%temp_folder%"

rem getting avsmeter.exe path
for %%i in ("%avsmeter%") do set "avsmeter_path=%%~dpni"

rem avsmeter.INI must be in the same directory as avsmeter.exe
rem I did not figured out how to specify path for log in avsmeter command line, it only worked to write it in INI file:
echo LogDirectory=%temp_folder% > "%avsmeter_path%.ini"

echo.
rem avsmeter command line analysing only couple of first frames, no need for higher range for what we need
rem also not printing anything into cmd prompt window, only to create log file
rem remember it might index a file if not avisource is used, but that index file is needed later anyway ...
