Any way to batch mux into mkv?

[Morien]

Hi,
I have a series of avi files and corresponding ssa files named 00x.avi and 00x.ssa (eg. 001.avi-001.ssa). I want to mux them all into matroska files (maybe even with languages set) however they go into the hundreds and so will take a very very long time.
I'm wondering, is there anyway to batch mux them? So that I can just set the process to go and come back later with the avi and subs muxed into mkv's ?

Thanks
Morien

a for %%f in (*.avi) type statement and mkvmerge should do the trick since the avi and the ssa have the same name.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm new to using mkvmerge without the GUI, and even then I do nothing fancy, so I apologise for having no clue. I've never added code into the commandline either.
How should my command line look with that added code?

Thanks a lot

Just load one into mmg, copy the commandline then change it to:
%%f in (*.avi) DO ("p:ath\to\mkvmerge.exe" rest of commandline....)
with "%%f" where the avi was and "%%~nf.ssa" where the ssa was and "%%~nf.mkv" where the mkv was.

Save as a batch file and run in the directory with the avi/ssa's. In theory it should process all of the files and output mkv's same as the way you originally set it up in mmg.

Hey,

thanks for your quick reply. Sorry for being thick as all get up tho.

I've made a batch file with the following code:
%%f in (*.avi) DO ("C:\Program Files\MKVtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "D:\Video\DragonBall Z\mkv\%%~nf.mkv" --language 0:jpn --track-name "0:DragonBall Z" --default-track 0 --aspect-ratio 0:4/3 --language 1:jpn --track-name 1:Japanese --default-track 1 -a 1 -d 0 -S "D:\Video\DragonBall Z\mkv\%%f" --language 0:eng --track-name 0:English --default-track 0 -s 0 -D -A "D:\Video\DragonBall Z\mkv\%%~nf.ssa" --track-order 0:0,0:1,1:0)

When I double click it however it says '%f' is an unrecognised command... etc.
Once again sorry for being so ignorant, I'm kinda wandering in the dark when by myself :(

Thanks

Never mind, got it working. I forgot the FOR syntax. So now it looks like:

for %%f in (*.avi) DO ("mkvmerge" -o "%%~nf.mkv" --language 0:jpn --track-name "0:DragonBall Z"

--default-track 0 --aspect-ratio 0:4/3 --language 1:jpn --track-name 1:Japanese --default-track 1 -a

1 -d 0 -S "%%f" --language 0:eng --track-name 0:English --default-track 0 -s 0 -D -A "%%~nf.ssa"

--track-order 0:0,0:1,1:0)

Thanks a lot for your help. It's working now :)
