Automatic MPEG to DIVX convertor plugin

[erik]

I create a small batch file containing
---------------------------------------------------- doall.bat
for %%f in (s:\tv\Will*.mpg) do postprocessing.bat "%%f"
Echo Done
---------------------------------------------------
Remember to use the full path name

You can also run this directly from the command line (that is, the for statement)
but I think you than have to use single %'s

still learning how to create the bat files to actually run a command.

why won't this work:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

rem Convert all mpgs in folder designated to avi's

for %%f in (F:\Media\Video\Captures\Manual Recordings\*.mpg) do c2avi.bat "%%f"
Echo Done

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

thanks

Must be like this

For %%f in ("F:\Media\Video\Captures\Manual Recordings\*.mpg") do c2avi.bat "%%f"

If there is a space in the path name

[tpgbpvr]

That was it! Thanks.

I am attempting to convert all mpg files in a folder. It only cought the first file and then stopped. Any ideas?

Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!!

For %%f in ("F:\Media\Video\Captures\Manual Recordings\*.mpg") do call c2avi.bat "%%f"

soome useful code for the post processing for those who wish the converted recording to take the same name as the old recording and remain fully accessable from the gbpvr recording screen:

________________________
set Bitrate=2000
copy %1 f:\gbconvert\buffer.mpg /Y
del /q %1
mencoder.exe "f:\gbconvert\buffer.mpg" -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=2:cbr:br=128 -vf scale=464:352 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=%Bitrate% -ffourcc DIVX -o %1
del /q "f:\gbconvert\buffer.mpg"
exit

Hi there,

Unsure what I did wrong but unzipped the zip into C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\ and my contents of PostProcessing.bat is as below but after burning to VCD with Nero Xpress all I get is sound and no video.

Any suggestions from anybody?

RGDS & TIA

comskip %1
rectracker %1 > rectracker.log
mencoder.exe "%~dpn1.MPG" -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=2:cbr:br=128 -vf scale=512:384,eq2=1.0:1.0:0.03:1.0 -sws 2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1400 -ffourcc DIVX -o "%~dpn1.small.avi"

Can your VCD player playback DivX?
Did you try to playback the avi file on a PC?
What does Nero do with a AVI file when you burn it on a VCD?

erik,

My DVD player does not support DivX hence why I convert to VCD with Nero as for what Nero does it encodes the video to VCD then burns it to CD.

The file plays fine on my computer with video, please also note that I was using PocketDivXEncoder to encode to AVI prior to finding your plugin and the resulting AVI after burning worked fine on my DVD player.

When you use Pocket DIVX and you are happy with the results you can copy the settings from pocketdivx in an easy way.
When you start the conversion using pocketdivx a bunch of files (amongst others mencoder) is extracted into a temp directory (c:\temp ???)
pocketdivx also generates a batch file (with extension cmd or bat) to run mencoder with the setting you selected in pocketdivx.
Just copy those setting and everything should work perfectly!
