The VideoLAN Forums

I am not sure whether the issue here is VLC or bat files, but here goes.

I have set up a .bat file that automatically transcodes my media for viewing on my dreambox using this line:

"%ProgramFiles%\VideoLan\VLC\vlc" -vvv %1 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=3072,scale=1,acodec=mp2a,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="D:\MyVideos\DreamShare\stream.ts"}}

The one problem with it though, is that it automatically generates the same output name for each file i input: stream.ts

I would like to reconfigure this so that each output is named unquely or (ideally) after the input file.

eg. panda.wmv becomes panda.ts after it is transcoded.

Does anyone know how to do this?

It will tell you to use "%~p1%~n1.ts" instead of "D:\MyVideos\DreamShare\stream.ts"

Thanks! It seems that %~n1 actually did the trick... thanks...
