The VideoLAN Forums

Hi

For some time I've been using a batch file to transcode all .mp3 files in a folder to .ts format and to remove all "_"'s in the filename with " "

This has worked perfectly, automatically transcoding each file, replacing the "_" with " " and quitting at the end.

This is the code...

for %%a in (*.mp3) do "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy -vvv "%%a" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp2a,ab=192,channels=2}:standard{access=file,mux=raw,dst="%%~na.ts"} vlc:quit

Since upgrading from 0.8.6 to 0.9.6 the batch file no longer works properly.

It transcodes the first file, doesn't replace the "_" then stops. If I close the second command window and go back to the first it says Terminate Batch Job Y/N if I press N and Enter it starts transcoding the second file.

So, in upgrading to 0.9.6 the batch file no longer automatically transcodes each file in the folder or replaces "_" with " ".

I really don't understand why this is but I would appreciate some help amending the code so it works properly again

EDIT Changing vlc:quit to vlc://quit appears to solve the problem of the code stopping after only one file but I still haven't found a solution to replacing the "_" character with a space.

Thanks a lot

Hi

There are no messages because the process just runs OK now except the filenames don't change correctly.

Here is my revised code again:
%%a in (*.mp3) do "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy -vvv "%%a" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp2a,ab=192,channels=2}:standard{access=file,mux=raw,dst="%%~na.ts"} vlc://quit

An example of the problem...

In 0.8.6 the part of the code dst="%%~na.ts" would change 01_All_For_One.Mp3 to 01 All For One.ts but now the new filename still has the underscore character so now it just changes 01_All_For_One.Mp3 to 01_All_For_One.ts .

As I said before, I don't understand how some of the changes in 0.9.6 have changed the required syntax so I need a bit of help editing that last piece of the code so the underscore characters are replaced by spaces again

Thanks
