I'm trying to convert mov and mp4 files for use on Zune. I made the following batch files based on the how-to instructions on this site. When I drag a file to the batch file, it exits without converting. How do I troubleshoot?

Code: Select all

 @REM  Set this next line to where you want your output files:
 @SET outdir=e:\video\
 @REM  No further changes should be needed below for VLC 0.9.8a
 @SET infile=%1
 @SET infile=%infile:"=%
 @FOR /F "delims=" %%i in ("%infile%") do SET filename=%%~ni
 @SET outfile=%outdir%%filename%.wmv
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv --sout="#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=750,width=320,canvas-height=240,acodec=wma,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=%outfile%}}" "%infile%" --play-and-exit
pause

add --extraintf=logger to place log-output to vlc-log.txt.

And you shouldn't need duplicate in that chain at all.

Thanks for the reply. The command being run is

Code: Select all

E:\p\feck\ifm-hd>"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv --sout="#tra
nscode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=750,width=320,canvas-height=240,acodec=wma,ab=128,channels
=2}" "E:\p\fred\ijk-hd\vint.mov" --extrainf=logger --play-and-exit

and i get the error
The command line options couldn't be loaded, check that they are valid.

Help very much appreciated.

Transcode itself isn't enough, you need output also. So something like

Code: Select all

vlc --play-and-exit input.mov :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma2,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:file{mux=asf,dst=output.wmv}

I am getting the same error as before. Here is what I have:
The command line options couldn't be loaded, check that they are valid.

Code: Select all

E:\p\f\i>"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --play-and-exit -
-extrainf=logger  "E:\p\f\i\decV.mp4" :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV
2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=wma2,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:file{mux=asf,ds
t=E:\p\f\i\decV.mp4.wmv}

Should the command be on one line?
