 Purpose

• batch processing of multiple file encoding with avidemux.
• support for recursive directory parsing (ie, it can process all the files in the subdirectories.)
• ability to save/load various configs as files.
• not too time consuming for me to write. So, all option are in a config file, and the script runs in the windows console. Usage may be restricted to "advanced" users.

 Usage

• uncompress the zip in some directory where you have write permission (ex : my document).
• export your own tinypy config file for video and audio codecs using avidemux (see Batch processing of multiple video with avidemux (2018))
  • save it somewhere (ex : in the same dir as the script)
• open lastconfig.ini
  • change avidemux_path to your path to avidemux_cli.exe. (You can use instead avidemux.exe if you want to see avidemux ; avidemux_cli being the command line frontend).
  • change tinypy_config to the path to the tinypy config file that you’ve just created.
  • change the input/output extension (see limitations)
  • optionally, you should read autoavidemux config help.html to set the other options.
• save to somename.ini (lastconfig.ini is overwritten with the last config when you exit).
• run autoavidemux1.exe
• follow the instruction on screen (for this first run, choose to load the ini file you’ve just created.)

 Script preview

Sorry, i have some nostalgia for console mode, and it’s easier than to write a GUI.

 Bugs, limitations

• lots obviously ;-)
• there is no input file list support (and will be none). You have to specify some file extension as input (avi ; mp4...) .
• If you have multiples types of extension, the only way is :
  • to copy all your videos in a directory (with or without subdirectories) AND to point output_video_path to an output directory. I think that using same_as_input might work in certain circumstances but I wouldn’t try.
  • Then run autoavidemux_all_extension.exe which is designed for this purpose only.
• If you select parameters leading to file overwrite (example, input dir = output dir, same extension) , there is no warning in avidemux, and little protection in the script to prevent overwrite (it may add the date of the day to the output name).

 Miscellaneous

• the source in autoit is included if you want to change something.
• All tests were done with avidemux 2.7 running on windows 10.
• Use at your own risk ; backup ; I’m not responsible for anything that may or may not go wrong.
