Custom Filenames with D2S/D2SRoBa using VCDXBuild

[Farshid420]

Hey, I have to say this is a great board with awesome users, so keep up the amazing work! :)

I wanted to know, after searching both this board and VCDHelp if there was any way, using the D2S/D2SRoBa combo with VCDXBuild selected under the CD Image tab, if there is any way to make is so that instead of ending up with files named "CD_Image_File_CD1.bin/cue" and so forth, you'd end up with filenames that represented either the Movie Title or CD Label, both of which are input fields that can be decided on during each rip. Allow me to give an example using the movie "Aliens":

So instead of getting "CD_Image_File_CD1.bin", you'd get "Aliens.CD1.bin". If possible, and if it exists, I wouldn't mind editing an ini to make it so that the name for the image can be read from one of the abovementioned fields, I just don't know what to edit lol :s

I am extremely sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere on the forum and I missed it, but would appreciate any kind of answer or a step in the right direction! Thank you again guys and gals :P

There is no such facility, I'm afraid.

You can rename the files manually. Rename both files as you wish, then open the .cue file in Notepad and amend the first line to give the correct filename for the .bin file.

Thanx Nick, that's what I've been doing so far :/

Well, maybe someone will be able to come up with a creative way of working around this little problem... and if it's a prob with VCDXBuild, I don't necessarily use all of it's features, and would be willing to use the other programs that D2S allows if the feature I'm asking about is available through those! :) Thanx again Nick :P

Only other thing I can think of is to run a batch file from the Finalize tab.
If your batch programming is up to it, you could perhaps use WOOP http://www.kik-it.com/WebDownloads.php?F=woop

to find and replace the CD filename with the Movie Name

If you click the browse button on the end of the Parameters tab it shows you what variables you can export from D2S to your batch file.

[Farshid420]

Wow, thank you so much Nick, that sounds awesome, definately going to be looking into it! :)

I'll let you know how it goes :D

[Farshid420]

Well, just realized that I have two issues with creating a batch file...

1) I need to change the names of the bin/cue files themselves according to the movie title...

2) I need to change the info in the cue files (which is what I'm guessing is the use of WOOP, cause WOOP can't change filenames...)

I don't know if this is all possible with only one line of parameters to play around with in D2S... if anyone who is either familiar with D2S, WOOP, or even MS-DOS in this case, plz lemme know if there's something I'm missing here, cause I'm really stuck... I've tried all the tricks I know using a batchfile, but I guess I'm simply not as knowledgable as the task requires :s

[Nick]

Hmm.
Well, the movie title is one on the parameters you can export - %MT
The problem I've had when I tried is that if there are any spaces in the path to the cue file, eg c:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Movie\CD_Image_File_CD1.cue, when you try to import this into the batch file, it only gets as far as the space,
ie c:\Program

I'm sure there is a way it can be done! I'll get my thinking cap on.

[Farshid420]

Nick, I can't thank you enough for your hard work bro! :)

And yah, I ran into that problem too, and so I tried it with a more simple path, but the problem I have now is that once the change is made in the .cue file, the filenames of both the cue and bin files still have to be changed manually... I tried making a batch file in MS-DOS to try and remedie this problem but had no success cause the parameter line doesn't export properly, and sometimes not at all :/

But much like you, I'm not gonna give up, and I'll keep you posted if I have any updates ;)

[Farshid420]

Btw, shouldn't there be a way to find where it defaults in DVD2SVCD to "CD_Image_File_CD#.bin/cue" as the generic filename for all rips, and change that to represent a variable that the program provides, like %MT, saving us the hassle of having to do all of this? Or is that just too much hexediting and messing with something that ain't broke? :devil:

[Farshid420]

Ok, so I gave it my best shot today, and hexeditted my heart out to try and get D2S to simply use the %MT variable as opposed to CD_Image_File_CD for the filenames, and the best I could do was get the filenames to come out as "%MT.bin/cue", which is still useless :/

Anyone with any previous hexeditting experience and a little time to dedicate to this would be much appreciated... I just know it can be done, and it's frustrating when I don't have the experience or the knowledge to do it myself. Plz help Nick and me out if you can! Thanx in advance guys and gals :P
