Hi to evreyone,
I'm sorry of my english is not perfect, I will try to explain myself as good as possible.

My Samsung camera is not compatible with VD internal codecs, so I've to recompress every single file opening it with the directshow filter.
I can't use the batch wizard because it can't select the "directshow input" mode.

Now I use the batch wizard to create a job list with all the files in (in standard opening mode),
than I save the .jobs file from the job control,
I open it with notepad,
and I put the phrase "DirectShow" between the two quotes (") after the name of the input file ON EVERY SINGLE FILE.

Isn't so simple to create a tool, or put it directly on the next release of VD, that puts the argument "DirectShow" between the two quotes?

Best regards to everyone, thanks for reading.

The hack way is to use a text editor like Notepad to do a search and replace, but yeah, I need to at least have some way to make the DirectShow plugin default or have "batch process with plugin." Problem is, I need to fix the reliability problems with the plugin first, if I can figure out how to work around all of the DirectShow weirdness. (If you ever wondered why I never rewrote VirtualDub to be DirectShow based, this is why.)

Ok, I understand, but I've a possible solution:

Why don't you put a textbox in the batch wizard for the "additional parameters"?? The text in the textbox will be placed between the quotes in the jobs file.
So that anyone can put inside that a parameter at his own risk!
So you will not be accused to stability problems.

I and a lot of other VB users would be very grateful!

What do you think?

PS: thanks for replying.
PPS: VD is really a fantastic software, I used it for 10 years I think, really a fantastic software.

That's a bit too messy of a UI. I'd rather include a drop-down.

I have generated a decent batch file that does file conversion in parallel (vice sequentially as in jobs) and outputs to a text file. does this do something like what you need?
