Ho can I quickly convert a TON of MPEGS in TMPG ?

[arcorob]

I have a number of JPG stills that I can convert to MPEG with VCDEASY for making Photo CD's. The trick is I want to use them in ULEAD VIDEO STUDIO and when I try, it says its a bad file format.

So If I take each one and run it through TMPG, ULEAD accepts it. Heres my problem, I have HUNDREDS I need to convert in TMPG and using the batch option is FINE but having to click on each and every one is CRAZY.

Is there a fast way to setup a batch file ? SOrt of like, create one entry and then if I could just edit the file and repeat the line 100 times ?

Help is appreciated !!! If I get this down < i will write a guide on picture CD with music UNLESS there is a way to do this with VCDEASY under the normal pictire CD process ???

The best way to do this would be with a vb script. Write a script that takes the files one by one and processes them with tmpgenc, and turn it loose on the folder full on jpegs.

www.winguides.com should have enough vbscripting examples to get you started. It's like writing batch files in vb.

Thank you !!! I'll try that ! Will VB run native like a basic dialog or do I need a compiler ?? Thanks

You probably figured this out already, but....

if you're running a recent version of windows, just put type up your code in notepad, and save it with a .vbs extention. Double clicking the file will run your code.

Here's a snippet to try. Just put this in notepad and save it as hello.vbs then double click the file. If you get the popup box, your system is all set.

msgbox "Hello World."
