PostProcessing.bat Variables

[JasonB]

I'm try to use Windows Media Encoder to convert a record show from .mpg to .wmv. If I'm understanding correctly GB-PVR only passes file name and channel number.

If I want to automate the conversion of the show by putting the command line for WME into the PostProcessing.bat so that it's the same filename as the source, just with a .wmv, can I just use %1 in both places in the command?

Has anyone else tried this? I'm assuming so....

for source you still use %1 but for output you have to use %~dpn1 [drive,path,name] + .wmv like: "%~dpn1.wmv"
and remember to add quotes as doing this will strip off any ones they came with..

also, share your bat when you get it working nicely..wmv is very efficient and free...

Some information here:

about using windows media encoder to convert recordings to .wmv files. I use it as a scheduled task to convert recordings overnight when nobody is using the pc.
