postprocessing.bat

[Michael Gentile]

I am trying to use retime, comskip, and comclean. I have the following lines in the postprocessing.bat file:

move "%~dpn1.mpg" "%~dpn1_faulty.mpg"
retime "%~dpn1_faulty.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"
comskip %1
call comclean %1

The retime utility works and I get the original.mpg and original_faulty.mpg but then it stops. I have tried running the comskip and comclean utilities in a separate bat file with the file names entered and in quotes and that works, so I think I have all the files in the correct place, but the postprocessing.bat will not work. Do the %1 characters need to be in quotes as well?

Because retime is batch file you should not use
retime "%~dpn1_faulty.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"
but
call retime "%~dpn1_faulty.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"
Otherwise the processing stops after the call of retime.

Thanks for the help Erik, I will give it a try.
