Automated Cutting and Transcoding Guide Using Mencoder

[-stattik-]

The EXIT command wouldn't cause the transcode the fail. Do you have the output of the script?

[-Oz-]

i'll turn on debug after the next recording tonight and run it with the exit where you suggested and where I tried to put it.

[-Oz-]

I've attached the most recent run. No debug on but this is what is displayed and until i close that window the rest of the batch scripts won't continue.

Run this from a dos prompt.

Code:

C:\Progra~1\MPlayer\mencoder.exe "C:\htpc\recordings\NUMB3RS\NUMB3RS_20090417_21002200.ts" -edl "C:\htpc\recordings\NUMB3RS\NUMB3RS_20090417_21002200.edlp" -sws 9     -demuxer 35 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts fixed_quant=3:me_quality=6:chroma_me:noqpel:chroma_opt:vhq=4:bvhq=1:trellis:hq_ac:quant_type=mpeg:turbo -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128 -af volnorm -vf pullup,softskip,field=0,scale=608:336, -fps 30000/1001 -ofps 24000/1001  -o "C:\htpc\recordings\NUMB3RS\NUMB3RS_20090417_21002200.avi"

Post the output.

Looks like the file got transcoded. You mentioned in an earlier post that the transcode didn't work. Can you post the stattik_transcode script that you modified?

[-Oz-]

the only time it didn't work is when i added the exit in near the last few lines like so:

Code:

::      #### Script is finished ####
ECHO .
ECHO Script is finished.
ECHO .
exit
%debug%
:end
%debug%

otherwise the transcode works it just doesn't exit

Try adding a second exit at the very end.

[-Oz-]

ran a test of just your script and it worked (with the exit at the very end); so we'll see if it runs automatically tomorrow;

either way if it doesn't exit I'll assume its an issue with how I'm calling it; thanks for all the help stattik
