View Full Version : No Metadata in output with script

I am using the vp.vbs script to convert a bunch of vob files into dvr-ms files. However, the output files have no metadata (like bit rate, duration, etc). In fact, the files don't even have a metadata header so I can't even add any metadata.

However, if I use VideoReDo directly to open a file and choose "Save As" and output the file to DVR-MS, it works correctly.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong or what I can do to fix this?

Thanks!

Are you using Plus or TVSuite?

Can you post one of your cmd files here so we can look at it. You can also see an example of a correct CMD file by loading a file in VRD, and pressing Ctrl+B. Set the output save type to DVR-MS. Then launch the batch manager and save the command file.

I am using Plus. Here is an example of the command I run:

cscript vp.vbs e:\TempWMA\7-1_1.vob e:\temp.dvr-ms

After looking at the saved batch command, it uses /t6 explicitly. I had (incorrectly, it looks like) assumed that since my default output type was dvr-ms that I would not have to pass the /t6 flag.

If I pass the /t6 flag, everything works fine.

Thanks for the help Dan!
