New Tool: ShowBurner DVD Burning [with menus]

[Koenie]

I installed showburner for the first time. set temp and burn drives, added a few shows to burn in GBPVR and ran the batch file from the thirdparty folder.
I then get following dos error:


C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>for /F "tokens=*" %f in (dvd-que) do (ca
ll :addtitles "%~f" )

C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>(call :addtitles "{"C:\Video\CSI New Yor
k\CSI New York_20061012_20302130.mpg"}" " )

C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>del /q chapters.txt 1>NUL
Kan C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner\chapters.txt niet vinden

C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>echo.


C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>echo ****Now adding Title- "CSI" 1>stat
us.txt
De syntaxis van de opdracht is onjuist.
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>if exist "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\s
howburner\{"C:\Video\CSI.txt" (
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\showburner>

The batch file reads as follows:

:addtitles
del /q chapters.txt >NUL
echo.
echo ****Now adding Title- "%~nx1">status.txt

if exist "%~dpn1.txt" (
dvdskip.exe "%~dpn1.txt"
call :readit

Is the if exist line OK or am I doing something wrong?

hmmmm, looks like too many quotes in the calling line around the filename..
check your dvd-que and show me what's in there...

Code:

call :addtitles "{"C:\Video\CSI New York\CSI New York_20061012_20302130.mpg"}" "

too many quotes around that..should only be around the filename itself,no extras..
like

Code:

call :addtitles "C:\Video\CSI New York\CSI New York_20061012_20302130.mpg"

maybe gbpvr is adding the brackets to the dvd-que file?

[pBS]

hmmm,maybe you have command extensions not enabled?
try adding this to the very beginning of the batch file..

Code:

SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS

to see if that's the case...also,are you running win2k or XP?

EDIT: also check your config.xml manually against the ones earlier in post..
i uploaded the newest version last night so if you got it before today,i suggest re-downloading..

make it work, I installed it and it doesn't work. Does it popup an error if there is no disc installed

[mikeneron]

Make it work??? I don't think that is an appropriate way to ask for help. You will be lucky to even get a response now.

I have used this utility and I can tell you it works for me. Did you try the new installer? I have been using this utility for awhile now haven't had any issues. There must be something on your system that isn't quite right.

[pBS]

lol yea, i hear that! ok, return the item in original packaging and i'll send you out a refund immediately..

i've noticed there's something odd in the way that German users' systems work with batches..or at least that's the only users that have problems so i'm thinking that it's something different in the windows there..

being in US all i can test on is NTSC with English Windows...all else is up to you..
that's why it's a batch file and not a vb script or auto-it exe..you can edit/debug this yourself...

as mentioned elsewhere, it won't ask you for anything unless you make it..if no disk is present, it will just exit...
you can always just open imgburn.exe afterwards and burn the compilation [it's still there until you overwrite it]

batch files sometimes need mods to work in other countries..

[Koenie]

Yes pBs too many quotes seems to be the problem. The line in the dvd-que looks like: "{"C:\Video\CSI New York\CSI New York_20061012_20302130.mpg"}"

When I take out the excess quotes it seems to work (it is currently working).

[pBS]

yea,i thought something looked odd there.. good deal..
i'm currently working on live voice prompts so you can hear it say the current size of compilation.. eg. "Current compilation size is 3400 megs"

if i can figure out the silly sapi5 dependancies..lol
glad you got it going...Enjoy!

[Koenie]

I found out that the plug in in GBPVR already makes the extra quotes in the que file "{.....}". This causes also the file size calculation to go wrong and my first DVD prompt was too big.

After putting less movies in the que, manully removing the excess quotes and running the batch file the DVD plays perfectly.

I am not sure whether I missed something, but can the batch file to write the DVD be started from within GBPVR?

I forgot to mention that I ran this on my test machine which runs XP.

Hi all,

just a note from a german user. I have installed showburner yesterday and had no luck to use it. During several tries, I realised, that it does not work with Comunity Skin 1.0, which I use on my system (german XP, language for GBPVR is german). When I switch to BLUE or BLUEMCE, I got a prompt from showburner, how to use the file (not in Comunity Skin). But how do I burn the files? I already have an empty DVD in my drive and all files are selected to the burning list. Any comments or hints are appreciated.

Greetings form germany Peter
