Name own filename instead of standard cd_image_file_cdx?

[menow]

is it possible to tell dvd2svcd to name the output bin/cue files other than the generic cd_image_file_cdx? also, can i tell it to put the output bin/cue files in a different directory beside the program files/dvd2svcd/movie directory?

On the Finalize tab, you can point at a batch file you created. The batch file will be run for each BIN and you can rename the files the way you like. To output to a different directory, just specify the folder on the CD Image tab.

I suggested just awhile back to
instead of
CD_Image_File_CD2.cue
change to
imageCD2.cue (notice it's 8.3 dos filename)

that's how I want mine....ok I'll have to experiment and do what you suggested RB...dvd2svcd told me to do the same but I totally forgot all about it.

RB could you please post an example, batch file for us, please.

Are you sure your not joking on how to make a batch file?
Open notepad and write:

Ren file1.mpg file2.mpg

Save as whatever.bat

Hello!

I don´t think it´s that easy, you will have to experiment around but the main idea is (i.e to rename it to "imageCD1.*"):

-first of all you have to go to the "finalize tab" and choose parameters. In this case you have to choose "%CDF" (CD image name) and "%CD#" (CD number)

-then go and create a batch file with the following content:

@ECHO OFF
ren %1.* imageCD%2.*

-now save the file with the extension *.bat and choose it under the "finalize tab".

But as I said, you have to test out, because i don´t really know the exact meaning of the parameters used by dvd2svcd (i.e. does "%CD#" mean _01_ or _1_).

Hope this helps, winxi

I agree with winxi. I also don't think making a batch file is that easy. You have to note that once you rename your bin/cue files, you also have to change the input file name inside of the cue file.

Hi

If you want to do it anyway, the string "CD_Image_File_CD" exists only once in DVD2SVCD.Exe, just use a hex-editor and replace it with "imagecd", don't forget to fill the rest with '\0', i.e hex 00.

With UltraEdit you need only 30 secs to do it ...

Hope DVD2SVCD doesn't mind the hack, I prefer CD_Image_File_CD :)

Good point didn't consider that part. With a simple rename it then would require you to open the CUE file with Notepad and change the target bin file name as well.

I leaped before I looked on that one.
