how to automate virtualdub to convert

[fluor]

I have dozens of mpeg-files every day, and I want to automatically convert them to avi using divx with 300kbps with no sound. how can i automate this WITHOUT any user interaction. All i want is MYPROGRAM.BAT INPUT.MPG OUTPUT.AVI . . how can i do that? divx5.02 or whatever.

You can make a job-list ...

can somebody enlighten me and tell me about parameters and such when using virtualdub. i searched for command-line options in help, but i found nothing

If you want to know how VDub works you have to look up the guides at this site. For the job-list:
[list=1]
Load your mpg-file in VDub.
Configure the settings for video, audio, etc...
Give it a name, say output.avi, but don't press OK, instead check the button "add to job-list" or something like that.
Load your second mpg-file, and repeat the steps above.
Finally you can do the job, or save it so that you can run it another time (in Job control).
[/list=1]

im sorry but thats too slow. i want a more automated feature. isnt it possible to start virtualdub with a job from command-line? or something...

Look in VirtualDubs Help, look under Advanced Topics/Command Line Options.

Not fully automated, but pretty quick:

- Set all converting parameters to your likings (and also remember "load/save processing settings")
- "File / Job Control // Edit / Process directory...

And there you are!

(And be sure no little kids are around when watching the results !?!? ;) )
