cannot find file - videoredo

[zehd]

Thanks...but still didn't help. I have found out something interesting though. If I put under scores where the spaces are it works. The CSI folder and mpg names are created by gbpvr and don't know if I can change the way it does the naming or not. Also it only works when I have this in the batch file. Apparently this creates a loop and goes back to trying to find more .vprj files and would be nice if I could get it to stop but don't have a clue how to do that. Also don't know how to create the code to where if there are spaces in the folders or file names the batch file still can read them or if possible setup gbpvr not to create spaces. One step closer....I think. :confused:

Code:

REM This calls a routine that will process the recordings using Videoredo
FOR /R %dir1% %%f IN (*.vprj) DO CALL :adprocessing %%f

:adprocessing

Exactly. You are having a long filename problem. Ling filenames can't have spaces unless surrounded by quotes... But if you quote everything, the VideoRedo hates you for it...

You might need a script that tests for spaces and then adds quotes when necessary...

Though that really sounds silly. I don't remember ever having that much trouble when working with my script...

LOL...Silly it defintely is. Since that is beyond me and basically don't feel like putting that much brain power into it, I will just manually remove the commercials. Thanks for your input. Out of curiosity....Any idea if its possible to change the way gbpvr does the naming?

Not trying to beat a dead horse....but I have decided that I am at least going to make an attempt at resolving my issue because it would really be nice to get it working.

One thing I am wondering....Is there a way for gbpvr when it records a show to put underscores in the folder and/or file name? It would be really nice for my situation if that is possible. Another thing is that I have found a VBscript and have changed it a little to suit me and it finds files only that have spaces in them and replaces them with underscores. I have put it in my batch file and for whatever reason it doesn't change the file name, but it does change it when I execute it manually. More ideas would be appreciated.
Below is the code for the script and my updated batch file.

script

Code:

Dim sName
Dim fso
Dim fol

' create the filesystem object
Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    
' get current folder
Set fol = fso.GetFolder(".")

' go thru each files in the folder
For Each fil In fol.Files
    ' check if the file name contains spaces
    If InStr(1, fil.Name, " ") <> 0 Then
        ' replace space with underscore
        sName = Replace(fil.Name, " ", "_")
        ' rename the file
        fil.Name = sName
    End If
Next

WScript.Quit

' echo the job is completed
'WScript.Echo "Completed!"

Updated Batch file

Code:

REM Set the following lines to the recordings and originals directory.
REM These two directories should be on the same partition to avoid actually moving the file.
SET recordings=G:\Recordings\
SET original=G:\Recordings\Originals\
SET renrec="C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\WizRenameRecording.exe"

REM Adds underscores to the file name.
cscript //nologo "G:\Recordings\CSI Crime Scene Investigation\FileRename.vbs"

REM Using ShowAnalyzer to create a vprj file for VideoReDo
echo Starting ShowAnalyzer.....
"C:\Program Files\Dragon Global\ShowAnalyzer\ShowAnalyzer.exe" %1

REM Starts VideoReDo to edit recording
echo Starting VideoReDo.....
cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoTVSuite\vp.vbs" "%~dpn1.VPrj" "%~dpn1_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q

REM Moving the original .mpg file to the Originals directory and
REM renaming the cleaned one to the original name
move "%~dpn1.mpg" %original%
move "%~dpn1_Cleaned.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"

REM The following lines cleanup the directory.
DEL "%~dpn1.txt"
DEL "%~dpn1.log"
move "%~dpn1.Vprj" %original%

echo Renaming Recording......
%renrec% %1 > WizRenameRecording.log

How much of this are you wanting to figger out fer yerself, and how much would you want someone just to come up with a solution?

I ask that, because it probably is a common task you are trying to do, and I could whip together a rogram that will roll with the filename style changes, that would take care of that for you.

Or maybe you're having fun hacking around...

To be clear, you want to use VideoRedo to read the comskip data and cut commericals in post processing?

To answer your questions.....Yeah....

Yes, I am trying to figure it out for numerous reasons and possibly during the time of trying to figure it out have some guidance........Of course having fun hacking around as well!

Trying to get VideoRedo to read the end result of the ShowAnalyzer data through the post processing.....Am I on the write track if gbpvr can't add underscores to the file/folder name?

Thanks

I have a post tool (UltraXMLTV Renamer) that runs in post and renames the file (and updates database pointers). During rename it replaces all spaces with periods.

Unforunately that doesn't work because it receives a %1 as it's input and it's impossible to know what the output will be, so it's difficult to put it in the Batch file before other processes.

Anyway...

Here's a question, if you have files with spaces, and add quotes around the variables, does it work then? It really should, no ifs ands or buts...

If you have some files with sppaces and without, then you could have two different sections in the batch and just switch between them...

No it doesn't work....only time it works is when I insert the absolute path instead of %~dpn1
