Command Line Problem

[billbell52]

I just installed 6.1.0.5 and ran the command line

"C:/Program Files/DVDFab 6/DVDFab.exe" /MODE GENERIC /SRC "j:\iso\BANK_JOB.iso" /DEST "j:\avi\" /PROFILE "generic.default" /CLOSE

It starts up DVDFab and fills in the source and target fields correctly but it does not start the conversion. It works if I manually do it.

What am I doing wrong? This is a simple process. Surely this feature is well verified prior to release. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Any help is appreciated.

for now this is from the readme. which im sure you have already read.

we need to make a guide for command line.

___________________

(You can get a basic version of this list via 'DVDFab.exe /?')

Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!

You are correct. I have read the readme on every release to see if anything changed. This has worked on prior versions but starting with 6.0.6.0 and the new gui interface it broke. Using it is very simple so a guide would be a few examples.

This is such a useful capability that I am amazed others are not having problems. I wrote a simple program that converts all ISOs in a directory to a given mobile format. It automatically starts at night and suspends in the morning. This way it does not bog down my computer during the day.
