Auto-close and auto-delete

[Patrick]

Hi Dan,

I am now working with build 221 for a couple of weeks. What can I say: It works as fast and robust as advertised. A really great thing to work with on my HTPC. This is the first piece of software I really enjoyed paying for.

Two minor requests for the handling:
Have an option to delete the input file and close VRD automatically as soon as the new file is created, without any more user input. This would make it much smoother to integrate in my environment.

Keep up the good work.

Although not very important I would like and use this option as well.

You need to consider that deleting the input file BEFORE checking out the edited file could be bad if there is a problem with the edited file, which I have run into twice so far after editing with VRD. Usually, VRD's edited files are fine, but there is always a chance something can go wrong. Deleting the source file right after editing is pretty risky IMHO.

I could add an option to let you delete the input file after the batch processor has finished.

In the meantime, you could create your own simple script to:
1) Open the VideoReDo.
2) Load a project file of edits.
3) Save it.
4) Close VideoReDo
5) Delete the original file.

This can all be called from the command line. To see the basics of how to do this look at the .vbs file in the Build #224 install.

Allright, thanks for the feedback Dan. I will check out your suggestion.
