Command Line control?

[AnttDvdFab]

Hello - I used the command line to automate mass conversions using DVDFab command line processing, but have not been able to find documentation on how to do this with UniFab.

Is that supported? I have to keep both DVDFab 12 and 13 installed and up to date because the converter option was removed.

Please check the detail in attachment.

I'm unable to view this file for some reason. Can you please post it again or send it to me somehow?

Among the millions of UniFab users worldwide, there are quite a lot high-end users with solid knowledge on audio and video conversion, codecs, some of them are even of geek level. For that part of experienced users, UniFab offers them the freedom to freely customize the H.264 and H.265 specifications in Video Converter modules, so that they can make their unique conversions to meet their special demands. Check out below to see how to do that:
Step 1 — Open the Advanced Settings panel of the Video Converter module.


Step 2 — At the Additional Parameters section, enter your detailed specifications. Be noted there is no need to repeat the specifications already set at the upper part of this window.


However, to those who’re not very familiar with audio and video conversion, it is not recommended to customize those specs mentioned above.
