I'm not very hopeful of this, but, has anyone given any thought at the possibility of batching movies in DVD2one?
As this has not been programmed into the program, is there a long way to get around it?
Well, if you're willing to write the script of batch file to do it, you could theoritically use DVD2One in batch mode. Now my primary programing knoweledge is in java, which is not very helpful here, but here's the logic to what would have to happen, you would 1)need to either simulate a mouse movement to the specific buttons and prompts in DVD2One, or find a way to input commands into DVD2One. 2) you would need to program into your batch file or script the directories of your movies, as well as their output directories. 3)you would need to compensate for differing time for compression completion within DVD2One. Now im sure it is possible, but i could not do it with my knoweldge of java.
As a side note, i read on the DVD2One forum that the creator of DVD2One had considered a batch processing mode, and has now stated that batch processing will now never be part of DVD2One. If DVD2One was only like the lame encoder, where one can manipulate it through the commmand line, then i am sure that a batch processing mode would be quite simple.
Update: I am currently working on a program that will allow batching to DVD2One, I do not have a release date as of yet, and I forsee very few problems in making the program(to be called BatchD2O) In reality the only problem I might have, after the program is finished, is how I might distribute the program, as I have no means to distribute it other than email. This program will be created specifically for DVD2One 1.40, and, as far as I can tell, I will be able to implement nearly all of the features of DVD2One, with the exception of a userdefined size, the Join mode, and it may not work if CopytoDVD is installed(as I do not have that program and thus do not know how DVD2One responds in its presence. However, with further developement I may be able to included all of the features of DVD2One. I am open to suggestions, questions, and help(though I do not plan to require very much help) I also have a question to all who read this post: Does this sound like a program you would like?
I have finished a basic DVD2One batching tool, its is freely available to anyone who private messages me with an email address, its only 80k. Pleese note that this program is only tested to work with version 1.40 with out copytodvd installed(I do not have that program, so I don't know how DVD2One reacts in its presence) Also, although future updates are planned, and I'll give the code to anyone who asks, right now join mode is not incorporated, and to be honest the program is a little jumbled(as I spent a total of 5 hours on it)
