Batch ISO creation
I'm hoping this is the right forum for this, please move it if there is a better one...
I have a drive filled with DVD file structure folders (Main folder = Movie Title, Subfolder = VIDEO_TS). I need ISOs (playable, not necessarily for burning, in other words, layer breaks aren't necessary) for all of them. As far as I can see, IMGBURN and/or MAGICISO could do it, but one at a time. I cry when I think of that. I have 200+ movies on this drive. Thoughts? |

I only just now retested this on two DVD folders. YMMV.
http://www.mediafire.com/?o9jex1vlxgb The contents of the ZIP go into the root folder of your videos. Your 'Main Folder' -V in the batch file = Volume Identifier - max 32 characters. So all folder names need to be, including spaces, less than 33 characters. (I have not tested this.) Assuming a folder\file structure: GWTW\VIDEO_TS\ 3_Gorges\VIDEO_TS\ HOLIDAY_IRELAND\VIDEO_TS\ One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest\VIDEO_TS\ make_iso.cmd mkisofs.doc mkisofs.exe mkisofs.txt readme.1st Double click on make_iso.cmd |

Hi.
Better solution. I'm making it permanent for myself. Code:
cls for /F "delims=" %%A in ('dir /ad/b') do "mkisofs.exe" -log-file mkiso_log.txt -dvd-video -V "%%A" -o "%%~nA.iso" "%%A" Last edited by pc_speak; 20th September 2008 at 06:39. |

OK... I did the pause thing.
I have the files from the zip sitting in D:\Shares\Video\DVD (I'm using WHS). This is the folder just above the subfolders which are the rips themselves. WHen I double click, it launches to c:\windows. So, it is trying to make an ISO out of each of the subfolders under c:\windows, and since the MKISOFS.exe file isn't sitting in that directory, it is returning an unknown command message. Thoughts? |

I'm not too sure what's happening. So I set up my directory structure to match yours. (XP Pro)
Let's try with absolute path names. Create tmp.cmd with these two lines of code in it and double click on it. The 1st line of code echoes the command lines to list.txt. (Post the first line from list.txt and I can see what's trying to happen.) The 2nd line takes out the echo to list.txt and tries to execute mkisofs.exe as per usual, using absolute paths. Code:
for /F "delims=" %%A in ('dir D:\Shares\Video\DVD /ad/b') do echo D:\Shares\Video\DVD\mkisofs.exe -log-file "D:\Shares\Video\DVD\%%~nA.log" -dvd-video -V %%A -o "%%~dpnA.iso" "%%~fA" >> list.txt for /F "delims=" %%A in ('dir D:\Shares\Video\DVD /ad/b') do D:\Shares\Video\DVD\mkisofs.exe -log-file "D:\Shares\Video\DVD\%%~nA.log" -dvd-video -V %%A -o "%%~dpnA.iso" "%%~fA" Quote:

My attempt, same commands i guess
Code:
@echo off color 0a title makeiso set dir="c:\test" set dest=c:\iso set makeiso="c:\test\mkisofs.exe" mkdir %dest% for /d %%a in (%dir%\*) do echo %makeiso% -log-file "%dest%\%%~na-log.txt" -dvd-video -V "%%a" -o "%dest%\%%~na.iso" "%%a" >> "%dest%\cli-log.txt" for /d %%a in (%dir%\*) do %makeiso% -log-file "%dest%\%%~na-log.txt" -dvd-video -V "%%a" -o "%dest%\%%~na.iso" "%%a" pause :end |

Well, if you guys should need Layer Breaks everntually and do come up with a solution please let me know. I've suggested ImgBurn to automatically select a layer break from the index but LUK has so far only added this

Haven't tried myself yet due to the lack of said function. Just check the readme.txt or the ImgBurn forums. While you're over there try to rally up enough people to support my suggestion from March 2008 which would allow for completely automated batch building once implemented.
