About 2 years ago I created a batch script to scan video files with mediainfo, return a value, compare the value to a set value/integer, and then run handbrake if the comparison passed. Else, skip the file.
I would like to make the script more customizable by adding a GUI. All this GUI would have to do is the following things:
- Set in & out folder paths.
- Drop down menu to select mediainfo parameter.
- Drop down menu to set comparison operator.
- Text box to set value/integer to be compared to mediainfo returned value.
- Text box to set custom encoding settings for handbrake.
- Lastly, perhaps a cmd viewer to watch the script run through files and encode them.
Here's the entire batch script file:
@echo off
set mediainfo="%~dp0MediaInfo.exe"
set result="%~dp0bitrate.txt"
set handbrake="%~dp0HandBrakeCLI.exe"
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
Set /P a=Enter source path:
set a1=%a: =_%
set src=%a1:"=%
if not %src:~-1%==\ set src=%src%\
Set /P b=Enter destination for converted files:
set b1=%b: =_%
set dest=%b1:"=%
if not %dest:~-1%==\ set dest=%dest%\
for /R %a% %%j in (*.*) do (
Echo Filepath is: %%j
%mediainfo% --Inform=General;%%BitRate%% "%%j" > %result%
set /P bitrate=<%result%
del %result%
echo Bit Rate is: !bitrate!
if !bitrate! gtr 4500000 (
set fpath=%%~dpj
set fpath=!fpath: =_!
set trg=!fpath:%src%=%dest%!
if not !trg:~-1!==\ (set trg="!trg:_= !\") else (set trg="!trg:_= !")
set fnl="!trg:"=!%%~nj.mkv"
if not exist !trg! mkdir !trg!
%handbrake% -i "%%j" -o !fnl! -f mkv -e x264 -q 20 --vfr -a 1,1 -E av_aac,ac3 -B 192 -x level=4.1:vbv-bufsize=7000:vbv-maxrate=4500) else (echo No need to transcode.)
)
cmd /k
So my question is, how would I go about making a GUI that can easily pass variables to the batch file. I was looking into HTA, but that seems mostly VBscript/javascript based, not sure if it works well with batch. Also, I recently came across AutoIt but not sure if it'll do what I need.
Just looking to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks. github.com/j0ckinjz/Batch-Convert-Script
