AviDemux scripting

[RedDwarf1]

I am attempting to write what should be a simple AVIDemux script to to cut a section of video out of an AVI (Mpeg4 ASP) file and save it out to a file. Then save another section from the same original AVI file. Finally append another file between the two cut parts.

The problem I am having is that the script causes AVIDemux to prompt for VBRScan and unpack Packed Bitstream which I do not want as it is meant to be automated.

Does anyone know of a way to stop AVIDemux from asking these things and to specify them myself when necessary? I would like to do a VBRScan at the appropriate times, which I can specify myself. I have tried putting that in with the hope it would not ask me but it still does ask. I NEVER want Packed Bitstream removed.

Also another problem is the paths. I would like it to use the current script path for the avi files when it loads them instead of having to specify the full paths. I have tried .\ but it has not worked. Nor has .\\

Can anyone help with this? I have looked through the limited documentation but it has shed no light on the subject.

This is all in windows.

Try something like this:
avidemux2_cli.exe --nogui --autoindex ....

BTW: When processing files in Avidemux and Packed Bitstream is detected, it should always be unpacked...

Something like that should work

var app = new Avidemux();
....
app.forceUnpack();
app.load(filename);
app.audio.scanVBR();
....

As far as I know you must use absolute paths. You could, however, create a variable for the current directory path and append it to each relative path. Then you'd only have to change the path in one place each time you move the script.
