command line syntax

Post by mcmusic »

Hi all

Makemkv rocks, superb piece of work!

I have been using the GUI with no issues, but now want to start some batch scripting.

question: if i have a preripped BD on drive, I was planning the simple pass the name of the mt2s of the largest file size to make to an mkv. but i cannot seem to crack the syntax on this. Is this possible and can someone list a sample?

can someone confirm the overall syntax of the command line? (by way of example, obviously i have the output from makemkvcon

my lines tried:

makemkv mkv file:"C:\Local Video\Stargate" title #0 "C:\Local Video" - for a BD pre ripped.

makemkv mkv iso:"C:\Local Video\STARGATE.ISO" "C:\Local Video" - for a BD ISO


if someone could post the correct syntax to achieve the above that would be fantastic!

Doh, it was obviously late last night.

Please ignore last post , syntax all sorted, me being stupid.

One thing for the request list though.

Going forward, if the console exe can have a parameter to pass a title name vs a title ID that would hep greatly. situation : i would look through the title, basically find the largest file and pass that to makemkv . this way i can make it totally automated. As it stands today, my batch script encodes all titles and then deletes those files under a certain file size to preserve main feature only.

If anyone has hit on another faster way to do this, it would be much appreciated.
