Batch Enhancement for BTV Program

[Deuce911]

I am working on a program that takes a BTV file and grabs the MetaData Info out and after I Batch edit the commercials out it takes and deletes the old file and renames the edited file to the original file name and re-importes the MetaData.

I have also implemented the program to watch the directory and if a edited file appears it runs the above program. What I want to do is run a Batch edit at night and everything above be complete in the morning. The problem is when videoRedo finished with the last edit it still has use of the final program it edited and the rename will not work on the final file since my program gives the error of "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" which is VideoRedo.

My solution would be to for you add a checkbox to exit VideoRedo when the batch process is complete. How difficult would this be?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I must be missing something here, as I don't really understand why this is necessary. Why don't you close VideoReDo or at least the currently open file before calling the Batch Manager?

:oops: I have egg on my face, I did not realize that could be done. Yes that does solve my problem.

Sometimes the easiest solutions are right in front of your face.


Thanks

I'm just glad it was a simple solution :)
