Quite recently I made batch video recoding with VirtualDub and had found no better way as to
1) Write a VirtualDub script for a single file with its name given as a command line parameter.
2) Writing a windows batch script for providing all avi files one by one to VirtualDub.
The problem that I encountered is that I couldn't automatically terminate VirtualDub, other than tskill its process after a certain delay. And I need to terminate it as every new conversion leaves VirtualDub window after its completion. That is why I suggest adding VirtualDub.Quit() instruction to Sylia.
I downloaded source code of VirtualDub 1.9.11 and added the following lines to the VirtualDub\source\Script.cpp file:
After line 1920
| CODE | static void func_VirtualDub_Quit(IVDScriptInterpreter *, VDScriptValue *arglist, int arg_count) {
g_project->Quit();
} |
After line 1963
| CODE | | { func_VirtualDub_Quit, "Quit", "0" }, |
That's all. Works like magic now. Would you add this to the official branch, phaeron? |

Command line option /x already quits on completion
vdub /? will show the rest, or you could read the help file->advanced operation->command-line operation
For parameters, the /i options lets you use it like this
Batchfile
| CODE |
:loop
if %1.==. goto theend
VDub.exe /i "d:\somescript.vdf" "%~1" "P:\NewVideos\%~nx1" /x
if not %errorlevel% == 0 goto err
shift
goto loop
:err
echo Error %errorlevel% with %~nx1
pause
goto theend
:theend
pause
|
Script
| CODE | VirtualDub.Open( VirtualDub.params[0] ,"",0);
..... some script functions ........
VirtualDub.SaveAVI(VirtualDub.params[1]); |
That'll give you a batch file that applies 'somescript' to all the files dropped onto the .bat file, with the destination avi going to the directory P:\NewVideos\ (with the same filename)

Thanks for the info. Indeed, the /x command line option fully satisfies the goal, but isn't it natural to have a script command also? I've spent a while inventing workarounds, never considering /x option. There could be others like me who would appreciate script command by the cost of ~15 more compressed program code bytes. |

You'd have to be careful about handling a quit script command as
1) you can load saved configurations - > oops virtualdub closed
2) job queues->oops again when 1 job finishes
3) reloading a queued job
4) you can start virtualdub with /s and load a script on startup ->oops again+looks like virtualdub never opens

I must be missing something, but doesn't VirtualDub.Exit(0) do the trick?

Well, I used this script manual http://www.virtualdub.org/docs/vdscript.txt. No "Exit" function is defined there. Since that document is rather old, I tried to guess an exit function with ".Exit()" and ".Quit()" with no success. ".Exit(0)" works fine indeed.
Am I missing newer script manual posted somewhere? |
