Hi,

I have been following the FAQ on how to automate multiple .avi conversions. My only problem is that the FAQ shows how to resume after audio extraction. I would like to have a .d2s file that begins from scratch, so that it does the audio extraction automatically as well.

Is this possible? I have tried playing with the "Project Position" line in the .d2s file. The numbers don't seem to make very much sense. I have got as far as guessing that 101 resumes right after audio extraction. Is there a number for BEFORE audio extraction?

Is there some reference that explains all the possible "Project Position" Ids?

Here is the extract from the faq:

Q73: How do I make a batch file to do multiple conversions from AVI sources?

A: Thanks to ChickenMan for this superbly concise explanation over in the advanced forum:

Load in your AVI in the Conversion tab of DVD2SVCD. Set it up the way you want. Start the encode. With an AVI, the first thing it does is extract the Audio track. Wait until this is finished and shut DVD2SVCD down. Reopen it and load the next AVI in, set to a different output folder, set it up and start it also. Then shut DVD2SVCD down just after the audio is extracted.

Then make a Batch file ( I call mine BATCH.BAT ) in Notepad to read something like :

@ECHO OFF
REM DVD2SVCD Batch Control

"C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\DVD2SVCD.exe" -d2s:"C:\TEMP1\dvd2svcd project file.d2s" -run -exit
"C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\DVD2SVCD.exe" -d2s:"C:\TEMP2\dvd2svcd project file.d2s" -run -exit
"C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\DVD2SVCD.exe" -d2s:"C:\TEMP3\dvd2svcd project file.d2s" -run -shutdown

Thank you for pointing that out. I just tried it on a few files and it seems to be capable of doing the job.

Although every now and then it seems to do something a little unusual like not extracting the audio and passing a weird resolution to CCE.

Yeah, it's not perfect but it does the job. I run into very few files that don't conform - I just do them manually.
