Video COnverter file to avi

[roodog46]

I have many dvds that I have converted to AVIs using the profile "generic.avi.h264.audiocopy" These do not play on a particular tv that I have (Wrong format. I converted one to Generic.avi.divx.audiocopy and tv plays it fine. Because I have so may I have tried to write a batch file gleening bits of info from help and forums but no success. The deive I am using is an external drive G and if I select the source with a filder eg g:\tvin, batch opens then close. I will attach the batch file as I am sure I am doing something incorrectly. Looking for help please.

set DVDSOURCE=G:\TVIN
set DESTDIR=G:\TVOUT
set DESTSUBDIR=
set DVDFAB="C:\Program Files (x86)\DVDFab 8 QT\DVDFab.exe"
set DESTTYPE=AVI
set MODE="VIDEOAVI"
set PROFILE="generic.avi.divx.audiocopy"
set LANGUAGE="English"
for /d %%X in ("%DVDSOURCE%\*") do (if not exist "%DESTDIR%\%DESTSUBDIR%\%%~nX.%DESTTYPE%" (%DVDFAB% /MODE %MODE% /SRC "%%X" /DEST "%DESTDIR%" /PROFILE %PROFILE% /CLOSE) else (echo "Exists %DESTFILES%\%DESTSUBDIR%\%%~nX.%DESTTYPE%"))

Hi,

Give this a try:

@echo off
set DVDSOURCE=G:\TVIN
set DESTDIR=G:\TVOUT
set DESTSUBDIR=avi\
set DVDFAB="C:\Program Files (x86)\DVDFab 8 QT\DVDFab.exe"
set DESTTYPE=AVI
set MODE="VIDEOAVI"
set PROFILE="generic.avi.divx.audiocopy"
set LANGUAGE="English"
for /F "tokens=*" %%X in ('dir /B /S "%DVDSOURCE%\*"') do (
if not exist "%DESTDIR%\%DESTSUBDIR%%%~nX.%DESTTYPE%" (
set runcmd=%DVDFAB% /MODE %MODE% /SRC "%%X" /DEST "%DESTDIR%" /PROFILE %PROFILE% /CLOSE
echo Running command: %runcmd%
%runcmd%
rem if not exist "%DESTDIR%\%DESTSUBDIR%%%~nX.%DESTTYPE%" (
) else (
echo "File exists "%DESTDIR%\%DESTSUBDIR%%%~nX.%DESTTYPE%"
rem if not exist "%DESTDIR%\%DESTSUBDIR%%%~nX.%DESTTYPE%" ) else ( 
)
rem for /F "tokens=*" %%X in ('dir /B /S "%DVDSOURCE%\*"') do (
)

Kevin,

Apart from a tweak with the "runcmd" all works well. I removed the reference for the runcmd as I was unable to spend much time on it and left the DVDFAB instructions as a line of code on its own without assigning it to a variable?? . All works fine without any problems. I appreciate your help and from the code you supplied, allowed me to learn something as well.
Many thanks greatly appreciated. Your input is always very reliable
