command-line burning in DVD Decrypter?

[Matthew]

Are there any plans to implement command-line burning options in DVD Decrypter?

It's handy to be able to use a batch file to create an image using mkisofs.exe and then burn it without intervention (I'm referring to DVD-RW burning here, so no risk).

CDRDAO (or whatever it's called) doesn't work for me. I currently use Gear but find it somewhat bloated and annoying.

Not especially important (obviously), but if it is easy to implement then would be handy.

Thanks :)

It's already there in 3.1.7.0.

Look in the readme file or type 'DVDDecrypter.exe /?' from the command prompt.

So it is. Wonderful :)

I did check the posted changelog for 3.1.7.0 but didn't see any mention of it and I'm usually slow to update so didn't find out through installing the new version.

No, for some reason I think I forgot to add it to the original changelog!

I'll cheat and add it now ;-)

You can edit chelrob's post in this forum too if you want to be thorough :D

Feature works great, except when I tested it I noticed 2 minor things:
-A small image was detected as being a CD image, even when it was greater than CD size (between 800 and 900 megs). I think the image has to be over a gig, I'm sure you'd know :/. Result was error sending cuesheet. So maybe a force DVD switch could be useful.
-No erase disc switch, that would be handy. Obviously manually erasing a disc beforehand is not much of a hassle though.

Like I said, just minor issues, the new feature kicks ass :)

It should erase if it needs to, you'll just get prompted, that is all.

I'll consider a force dvd mode switch in later versions.
However, its not hard to load the program and burn it manually! ;)

Yeah I noticed, but that defeats the purpose of CLI somewhat. I use Maestro, and after hitting the compile button I run a batch file and then do something else (watch gay porn or whatever). When I come back the batch file has already detected when the compile is done, created an image using mkisofs.exe and burned (or be burning) that image. A prompt doesn't fit in with that. I'll just ensure the disc is erased before compiling, that isn't hard.

It's just a thing I have, to make things as automated as possible. e.g. I have a batch file that encodes the video in CCE, automatically parses the video stream in Maestro, kills Maestro and then optionally shuts down the computer. It's annoying having to wait for assets to parse when authoring time arrives :)

that'd be great....Yea I think it's 1GB...when one is testing it out you have to remember to test with at least 1GB. force dvd mode would be awesome so we could test with 100MB or whatever.
