Shutdown filter for VirtualDub

[bb]

Hi,

just wanted to point out there's a shutdown filter for VirtualDub available at Donald Graft's fabulous site:

http://sauron.mordor.net/dgraft/

It's in the "Hosted" section. Add it to your filter chain as the last filter, and VDub will shutdown the computer after processing. If used together with job control, make sure the shutdown filter appears in the *last* job only.

There's something I don't understand... If you want to use this filter you have to put VirtualDub in Full Processing Mode and it you lose the speed advantage one gets with "Fast Recompress"...

[bb]

True. If you want to use Fast Recompress (e.g. using AviSynth frame serving), then you won't use this filter.

Maybe there's an equivalent AviSynth filter?

Have you never heard of "Shutdownking"?
Take a look over at:

It rocks. Set to timer and adjust timer to shutdown system, if cpu load is less than 90% for 3 minutes. Works even on old '98 boxes with ACPI enabled :)
On my W2K & XP rigs i use the 'energy saving options' in the screensaver tab. Just set to hibernate or shutdown after 5 minutes and youre off.

Well, I've been using PowerOff and MrShutdown for a long time. PowerOff is a great tool, but is not triggered by CPU load.
MrShutdown works when using the CPU load option, but the basic timer option is buggy.

There are a bunch of further shutdown tools, but many of them have problems with certain OS. I tested the two tools above on Win98, Win2000, and WinXP.

Hi,

I know SDK, I use it, i love it ...
My only complaint: The CPU load function doesn´t work at all ... if I set it to show the timer, there appear some numbers, quickly increasing to a really huge amount, then the timer stalls. And it doesn´t do anything when the CPU goes idle. All other functions work perfect for me, but not the CPU load one.

Do you have any hint regarding this?
Oh, I´m running XP pro here -- didn´t try Win98. I simply can´t stand to work with this one any more ;)

I think shutdownking has a problem getting the correct cpu load on W2K/XP.

Use MrShutdown, runs fine on XP:

I reboot it every day. Until now he did not lock me out, but he doesn't talk to me either...
