cannot find file - videoredo

[chancer740]

I am using a postprocessing.bat file after a recording in gbpvr. I am invoking videoredo with the recommended command line. Problem is that everything works if I specify the file path and file name, but if I use the %~dpn1 variable, I get the error stating that videoredo cannot find the file. It is perplexing me at the moment. Anyone have any ideas?
Again, works great if I run videoredo manually or batch it using the full path and file names. I try to use dpn1 variable anywhere in any of my batches and it crapps out.
showanalyzer works great!
Here is the 2 lines from my postprocessing.bat:

call "C:\Program Files\Dragon Global\ShowAnalyzer\showanalyzer.exe" %1

cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoPlus\vp.vbs" "%~pn1.VPrj" "%~pn1_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q

it doesn't look like you're using %~dpn1 but rather %~pn1

Been searching the forums and this is the same issue I am having except I have the "d" in the path variable and its still not creating the *.Cleaned.mpg file. This is on a XP Pro SP2 machine by the way. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Below I have my PostProcessing.bat file and below it the output it gives me when I run it manually from the gbpvr directory.

This is a hunch... Do you have the GB-PVR Recording service set to 'interact with desktop' or not?

Thanks for the reply....No, is it supposed to be?

Thanks for the reply....No, is it supposed to be?

My guess was based on similar post-processing tools including my own, that require interacting with the desktop. I am suspecting VideoRedo requires it.

[mrgtstr]

So far still no dice and appreciate your help.....Any other ideas besides uninstalling and reinstalling? To me it seems like its not reading the "%~dpn1" variable for whatever reason.

Never mind - just looked at the command line again, and what I suggested is not the issue (enclosing the variable in quotes)!

For Chancer740, your line reads

Code:

cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoPlus\vp.vbs" "%~pn1.VPrj" "%~pn1_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q

It should read

Code:

cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoPlus\vp.vbs" "%~dpn1.VPrj" "%~dpn1_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q

Notice the wildcard name now includes the "d".

For mrgtstr, your line reads

Code:

C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR>cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoTVSuite
\vp.vbs" ".VPrj" "_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q

First, do you have the file "vp.vbs" in the gbpvr folder, or is it in the Videoredo folder?
Mine looks like this

Code:

cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoPlus\vp.vbs" "%~dpn1.VPrj" "%~dpn1_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q

calling videored and the vp.vbs from the videoredo folder.
Notice also, that your wildcard filename is ONLY showing the suffix ".VPrj" instead of ""%~dpn1.VPrj" No wonder it doesn't work

Thanks for the reply reboot....The vb script is in the Videoredo folder and the batch file is in the gbpvr folder. I manually started the batch file is the reason why its showing the gbpvr path. Don't know whether that helps or not?
