Handbrake Command-line

Hi there,

I am trying to use handbrake command line so i can create some batch files to do some encoding for me, but it does seem to work.

I have downloaded the command line interface from the website.

In the same directory i have this in a batch file:

Code:

    HandBrakeCLI.exe -i "D:\Movie\VIDEO_TS\" -o "D:\movie.avi"

...but when i run the batch script, it flashes and black screen and does nothing?

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

Have posted on their forums but they only pointed me to their wiki page which does help.

Thanks.

The 'pause' command is used to halt a process and wait for user interaction.

Place it where you want in the batch file to pause the command prompt.

So i put this and exactly the same thing happens, apart from it flashes for slightly longer:

Code:

HandBrakeCLI.exe -i "D:\Forrest-Gump\VIDEO_TS\" -o "D:\sad.avi"
PAUSE
