Stdin for a vbscript via cscript from cmd?

DMZ · 18 May 2013 at 13:47

Can anyone help to correct my command? I'm passing Stdin to this command but clearly the structure of the command is wrong:

cscript.exe wmcmd.vbs -input stdin -profile av100 -output "c:\output.video"

Thanks

i don't think that is possible. i know from reading hydrogrenaudio forums that people use that .vbs file to encode WMA audio files and they have to specify a temporary filename where as pipes are used for pretty much all other encoders.

Thank you, that's by far the most helpful reply I've had on the whole internet so far. All the others have been trolling of course.

it does make you wonder why MS didn't just supply a command line executable.

this guy on hydrogenaudio made a command line tool with STDIN support for audio but obviously that's not much use to you given the example you put in your post.

i know the windows media 9 encoders have been superceded with something called expression encoder but that doesn't appear to have any command line support either.
