Change "Kill VLC" to "Kill Mencoder" on xDVD -- Possible?

[ww4397]

Is there a way to change the "Kill VLC" function/button on xDVD to "Kill Mencoder"?

I've begun to use a modified batch file (see this post) that uses Mencoder as the transcoder for xDVD (rather than VLC) and would like to now change the kill button to kill Mencoder, rather than VLC, when there is a transcoding in-process that I'd like to stop.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's what you want, but it might be useful as a temporary solution at least.

You could use pskill.exe (part of the free pstools from sysinternals) and create a custom gbpvr task to run pskill.exe mecondoer.exe - then jjust go through to the menu and select the kill mencoder button and it'll kill it. Not as clean as having it as part of xdvd but should work.

Just a thought

You could use pskill.exe...

Great idea!

I installed it, set it up and it works just fine.

Thanks, UKGuest44.


[EDIT]

I got the PsKill.exe file here.
