As per the title... I frequently need to extract the audio from multiple files, process it and then put it back.

Ideally it would be easy to do this as a two step batch process...

1. Extract audio from all avi in a directory.

Other non v-dub audio processing

2. Rejoin previously extracted audio with compression option.

Step one should be easy to implement I guess, step two probably a fair bit more difficult.

Cheers
Kurt

As it stands right now, you can do the first interactively via the Batch Wizard, but the second would require an externally generated script. It's possible that I might be able to accommodate the second pass interactively if I put in some way to generate batch jobs off a script.

I currently do it like this:

Drop file onto V-dub window, queue Batch operation, save wav

Rinse and repeat..

then run the queued jobs.

It's generally not too tedious to do it like this, I just thought a "Save audio" option in the "Process directory" dialogue would be fairly easy to do (and useful to others too?)

Years ago I had a little cli program that simply muxed any avi and wav with the same name but I have no idea where I got it from or what it was called. Since V-dub now saves files with names that make sense, could this be an easy solution?

eg: I open 001.avi, save the audio as the default, 001.wav. If I then clicked a new option (auto-import audio?) it could look for 001.wav and use it. Or maybe "batch de-mux/Batch mux" Running the de-mux command could generate a script using the created file names.

Both options could simply use filename matching rather than actually checking that it has the right file.
