how to que files to transcode?

[pastro]

Seems like your batch would contain the following.

Code:

atixcode.exe IDLE /F "%1" /A0 /S0 /R0  /EMPG /V4 /Q1  /X0 /D "%~d1%~pn1.avi"

I don't know the path to atixcode, so you will need to find that.

Create a file testme.bat or whatever and copy this line in.
Then edit the scriptoptions.
Under the $EXECUTABLE section add:
ATIXCODE;c:\pathtobatchfileyoucreated;ATI Xcoder

I don't think you need anything else under the other options.
Let me know how that goes.

I think it will still keep the info for the file in the database with the changed name, but if not we can work on that.

ok I made some adjusted to your batch file and it now loads yipee

here is the exact batch complete with adjusted spaces.

Code:

c:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\avivo\atixcode.exe /F"%1" /A0 /S0 /R0 /EMPG /V4 /Q1 /X0 /D"%~d1%~pn1.avi"

the above is assuming that you put atixcode.exe in gbpvr\avivo\

for ATI video card holders the actual directory would be
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\atixcode.exe

great!

thanks for your help

This is what I have so far

Code:

$EXECUTABLE
%Comments must start in column 1 blank lines are ok also
%Name for menu, executable path
Stattik's Bat;C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\stattik_transcode_0.5.1g.bat;Stattik Transcode Script
VLC;C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\VLC.EXE;Run VLC
AVIVO;C:\Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\avivo\atixcode.exe;Turbo compressor

I created the avivo folder since I can't remember the dos word for "third party"

I am lost how to create a batch file for atixcode with the settings in my previous post

thank you for taking the time to help

use dir /x to list the shortname

great!

Let me know if that converts ok and keeps the info for the file in the database.

after I que it and hit run it freezes GBPVR until the que is done....

I tried the VLC batch and that opens vlc player to process and i know that cause I can hear the file playing but GBPVR is froze until the que is over...

weird

update


ok the freeze is for a few minutes it seems for my batch and then it comes back to the main skiptool menu where I have the run que options

gonna run it now with 3 files qued and see


awesome!

[tvshowman]

nope not working...

if i drop an mpg onto the batch it does not work but if I type like this on dos prompt it converts

test.bat test.mpg

hmmm...

any ideas?

[pastro]

In the queuetool when you setup the file, at the bottom it should show what it is going to execute when it runs the queue. Can you transcribe that line and post it?
That will tell whether the batch will get executed and with what parameters.
From there you should be able to open a cmd prompt and type exactly what it would execute and see if the program executes. If not post the error message from DOS.
As far as freezing goes, it shouldn't freeze but it does run with normal priority and that might use too much CPU on some machines.
VLC is used to just show the capabilities it isn't transcoding, it's just playing the file. You should see it show up. You might try running GBPVR in a window (hit alt enter)

in skintool when I que a file it displays the file name only in the que.

is there a place you want me to look to verify?

i think my batch file is messed up since I cannot compress an mpg by dragging it to the batch file and it only works if i type the "start.bat encode.mpg" on a dos prompt.

this is the batch file

Code:

c:\progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\avivo\atixcode.exe /F"%1" /A0 /S0 /R0 /EMPG /V4 /Q1 /X0 /D"%~d1%~pn1.avi"

and this is what I added in the config.xml file and it works when I select transcode and choose avivo.

Code:

<Conversion name="AvivoXcode" exe="atixcode.exe" cmd=" IDLE /F{SOURCE_FILE} /A0 /S0 /R0  /EMPG /V4 /Q3  /X0 /D{DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".avi" />

In skiptool in the queuetool, when you are setting up the parameters for the file, at the bottom it shows what will be executed. Check that the path to the batch and the path to the file are shown correctly.

Also try without the "" around the parameters and see if that works.

[tvshowman]

the que shows the path and the file
c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\avivo.bat "c\video\movie.mpg"

i'm convinced it has to do with the batch file since dragging a movie onto it does nothing and open a command prompt and typing "avivo.bat movie.mpg" starts the encoding...

stumped
