View Full Version : VirtualDub MPEG-2 Job File Question

Hello,

This is probably pretty elementary, so I apologize. Anyway, I'm converting captured MPEG-2s to DivX using VirtualDub MPEG-2. I'm trying to automate the process of multiple-pass conversions.

Here's the question: How can I essentially tell VirtualDub to convert the whole file without knowing the exact range? Here's the command in question:

VirtualDub.subset.AddRange(0,?);

Is there a wildcard or some other command that allows VirtualDub to do this (or retrieve the range) or must I load every file in and manually queue it for multiple passes to get the range? It would seem nonsensical to not have the ability to automatically convert the whole file in this manner, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for any help you can give me!

IIRC, I think if you use a text editor to manually remove the subset.AddRange() command from the .jobs file, then the range defaults to the entire movie.

FCCHandler, I already tried that and just now tried it again to make positively sure. It gives me an error:

"Overloaded method (void,string) not found"

I wish it were that easy! :)

I believe I finally got it to work...by removing the subset.Range command and adding the following:

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.Delete();

Thanks! :)
