Hi! I have files like:
=====================================================
Video
=====================================================
Codec 4CC: H264
Image Size: 640 x 480
Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (1:1)
Frame Rate: 29.971 fps
Total Duration: 00:00:51.151
=====================================================
Extra Video Properties
=====================================================
ExtraDataSize: 28
Extra data: 01 42 E0 1F FF E1 00 0D 67 42
=====================================================
Audio
=====================================================
Codec: PCM
Channels: Stereo
Bitrate: 192000 Bps / 1536 kbps
Frequency: 48000 Hz
Total Duration: 00:00:51.136
I want to convert them into files with video x264 with 2048 bitrate and audio MP3 192 with following batch file:
set avidemux="c:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
set videocodec=x264
set videobitrate=cbr=2048
set audiocodec=MP3
set audiobitrate=192
set outputformat=MP4
for %%f in (*.MOV) do %avidemux% --video-codec %videocodec% --video-conf %videobitrate% --audio-codec %audiocodec% --audio-bitrate %audiobitrate% --output-format %outputformat% --force-alt-h264 --load "%%f" --save "%%f.mp4" --quit
But:
1) when GUI is shown audio settings didn't load (they set to "Copy").
2) when converting i got error "Unsupported. Only AAC, AC3, E-AC3 and mpegaudio supported for audio"
How can i fix this problem?
Try with this
set audiocodec=Lame
If still refused try using MKV muxer

I've tried MP3, AAC instead of "Lame" - with same result. I think main problem is that audio codec settings doesn't apply to GUI and conversion process. With manual setting via GUI i can convert this file successfully.
With MKV muxer - problem is that audio settings doesn't apply to output - it just copy.
--load should come first.

Same result. Order doesn't matter.
I write again - audio settings don't apply from command line to GUI and (as I think) to convert process.
What version are you using?
Edit: nevermind, it is 2.7, probably 2.7.0 for win64.
The order matters exactly as I said. With the current version (for me it is the current git master, for you the latest win64 nightly if you don't build from source), I get exactly the same error if I don't put --load option with the source video file name including the path before any audio options. It works if the video is loaded first.
Could you please post the output of MediaInfo for the source file? Maybe there are more audio tracks, and the command line converts only the first one.
Yes, version is 2.7 x64 downloaded yesterday from fosshub.

I use modified example from wiki (https://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tutorial:batch_processing) where "load" is after all codecs :)
Anyway with following config
set avidemux="c:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
set videocodec=x264
set videobitrate=cbr=2048
set audiocodec=MP3
set audiobitrate=192
set outputformat=MP4
for %%f in (*.MOV) do %avidemux% --load "%%f" --video-codec %videocodec% --video-conf %videobitrate% --audio-codec %audiocodec% --audio-bitrate %audiobitrate% --output-format %outputformat% --force-alt-h264 --save "%%f.mp4" --quitI get same error "Unsupported. Only AAC, AC3, E-AC3 and mpegaudio supported for audio".

Well, there is no second audio track... Could you please try the latest nightly (http://avidemux.org/nightly/win64/) then?
If you want the audio track to be encoded as MP3, use Lame as --audio-codec
Build 171127 - much better. Output in GUI is set to MP3 (lame). But now i can't change audio bitrate - for any value audio bitrate remains 128 (i've set codec to lame).
Updated
Also I found following in log:
[audioCodecSetByName] 16:59:25-814 Audio codec Lame set for track 0 (index=7)
Unknown command :--audio-bitrate
Found garbage 192
Looking into it.
The --audio-bitrate option has been removed by this commit (https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/commit/011755ae15d939c8cebb38e71893d83a07b1ff37#diff-6c499eeeac4fb550443bd75bee810096) in March 2012. The Wiki is terribly outdated. Please use a project script (.py) to supply codec options, just don't forget always to load the video first.
Edit:
adm = Avidemux()
adm.audioCodec(0, "Lame", "bitrate=192", "preset=0", "quality=2", "disableBitReservoir=False");
The --video-conf option has gone too, as well as the --force-alt-h264 one. You should configure (with a video loaded) video and audio codecs and the output container to your liking in Avidemux, then save this as a project script, edit the resulting .py file deleting the lines starting with
adm.loadVideo
adm.clearSegments
adm.addSegment
adm.markerA
adm.markerB
and load the video on command line followed by --run "path/to/your/script.py". The batch would look like the following:
set avidemux="c:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
set project="path\to\edited\script.py"
for %%f in (*.MOV) do %avidemux% --load "%%f" --run %project% --save "%%f.mp4" --quit
Great, thank you for help and useful app!
Using previously saved project is much more convenient than specifing all in command line.
Quoteset avidemux="c:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
set project="path\to\edited\script.py"
for %%f in (*.MOV) do %avidemux% --load "%%f" --run %project% --save "%%f.mp4" --quit
I wouldn't use
"%%f.mp4" here as it will create
test.mov.mp4 from
test.movTo not include the orgiinal file extension under Windows, instead use
"%%~nf"Here's a slightly more complex version of this batchfile, designed to use as a icon on the Windows desktop. You drag one or more MOV files onto it. It uses a sub-directory called "processed videos" beneath the directory where the MOVs were dragged from, and creates this sub-directory if it doesn't already exist.
MOV_to_MP4.bat@echo off
set avidemux="C:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
set project="D:\ADM Test\test.py"
set output_dir=processed videos\
if not exist "%output_dir%" md "%output_dir%"
for %%f in (*.mov) do %avidemux% --load "%%f" --run %project% --save "%output_dir%%%~nf.mp4" --quit
A variation would be to use the same output directory for all conversions e.g.
set output_dir=D:\processed videos\But you might sometimes have problems with duplicated processed filenames.
Another variation would be to test for an errorlevel and, if no err occurred, to delete the original file after the conversion, as here:
http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,17148.msg77044.html#msg77044
But I'm not sure if ADM sets an errorlevel in CLI mode.
Or, show the new file details, as displayed in a DIR line listing, as a crude type of multi-file conversion progress indicator, as each one is converted, as here:
http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,17187.msg77356.html#msg77356
