batch that calculate the total duration for a series of video file

[marcorocchini]

Hi, if you can help a cat ^^

and however.

Supposing a directory in C: called AAA AAA and a subdirectory call BBB BBB, so that there is spaces in the final path:

C:\AAA AAA\BBB BBB

in BBB BBB there some .mxf video file

for example File1.MXF File2.MXF File3.MXF etc..

I like to build a batch that calculate the total duration for File1.MXF + File2.MXF + File3.MXF

the final path is:

c:\aaa aaa\bbb bbb\File1.MXF
c:\aaa aaa\bbb bbb\File2.MXF
c:\aaa aaa\bbb bbb\File3.MXF

the script (from and old post, thanks to JVRaines) seems a thing like this:

@echo off
set /p targDir=Target directory: 
cd /d %targDir%
set totSecs=0
for %%F in (*.mxf) do (
	for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=: usebackq" %%X in (`exiftool -duration -s3 "%%F"`) do (
		set /a "totSecs += %%X*3600 + (1%%Y %% 100)*60 + (1%%Z %% 100)"
	)
)
set /a hours=%totSecs%/3600
set /a mins=(%totSecs% %% 3600)/60
set /a secs=%totSecs% %% 60
set totalDuration=%hours%:%mins%:%secs%

to calculate the total duration (%totalDuration%) of File1.MXF + File2.MXF + File3.MXF

using the attached exiftool

but I get the error "missing operator"

is there a way to resolve this?

------------------------------------------------------

And furthermore I have a second question:

if I need to view the total duration but starting from a .txt file called concatList.txt [attached] that are formatted like this:

file 'C:\TEST AAA\BBB BBB\AA011901.MXF' 
file 'C:\TEST AAA\BBB BBB\AA012201.MXF' 
file 'C:\TEST AAA\BBB BBB\AA012301.MXF' 
file 'C:\TEST AAA\BBB BBB\AA012401.MXF' 
file 'C:\TEST AAA\BBB BBB\AA012501.MXF'

in this case the total duration have to be calculated adding the duration of AA011901.MXF + AA012201.MXF + AA012301.MXF + AA012401.MXF + AA012501.MXF starting from a series of .mxf file listed in a .txt file (concatList.txt)

how to change the batch to do this specific operation? thanks
