script for quicktime to mpy with rotate

[johnbail]

Hello,

I am having issues trying to find a script to rotate a mov format 90 degrees and save as mp4 any help would be great.

[johnbail]

I have this script working with one file but not with others.  I know I am missing something simple but I can not find any information that points mw to the problem.

the command line throws a xml parse error "start tag expected."
I am thinking it is the different file sizes or frame rate but as I said I am cluless.

app.setContainer("MP4");

if you can try with 2.6, project looks less complicated in 2.6 (Spidermonkey):

rotate has been simplified, no "width=480" and "height=640": adm.addVideoFilter("rotate", "angle=90");

[johnbail]

thank you. I am really carious about the add Segment should those be removed as I do onto know the length of the video being converted? is there a function that tells me the length or can I leave it blank.

[mean]

Leave it blank

[johnbail]

I try to use the script on other files when I run it the GUI crashes I can find logs no where. When I run it in the command line I get the following error "options.xml:1: parser error : start tag expected, '<' not found"

I am at a loss at this point I just want to convert any file uploaded to our server to mpy from mov. and solve the portrait problem This is proving to be extremely difficult I have to be missing something. 

this is the windows version is that the problem?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

You call both scripts from a dos box? Somewhere is a setting in properties, I believe. Set it not to close window automatically when program stops.
type in your browser (internet or filemanager addressbar):
Log should be

Code Select Expand

%appdata%\avidemux\admlog.txt
Don't use complicated, long/deep path names. Scripts could have difficulties with spaces or foreign characters.
D:\My Douments\Video's to process\ or \Comme ça\ or \Fluß\ , ....
Stay close to harddisc root and use folders one or two levels down max.
D:\ToProcess\ or D:\ToProcess\mp4\

Include the paths in filenames for scripting. Linux example:

/usr/bin/avidemux3_cli --video-codec $VIDEOCODEC --audio-codec $AUDIOCODEC --force-alt-h264 --load "$FIL"  --run /home/jan/mp4TOmkv.js --save ${FIL%.*}.mkv --quit

use windows syntax where needed
XML parsing empty tag? Processing video from external path/device? Comes up on Unix, not found this yet in relation to windows?
When editing scripts/batch files, use editor that keeps text format as it should be. Notepad++ or similar program would do.

[johnbail]

Thanks you for the information. I have traced it to this line app.video.codecPlugin("32BCB447-21C9-4210-AE9A-4FCE6C8588AE", "x264", "CQ=0", "(null)"); it dose not like "(null") but I can not find a reference to what that parameter should be.

When I set the XML I get the following error.

Thanks you for the information. I have traced it to this line app.video.codecPlugin("32BCB447-21C9-4210-AE9A-4FCE6C8588AE", "x264", "CQ=0", "(null)"); it dose not like "(null") but I can not find a reference to what that parameter should be.

set the video codec in the GUI save in project and call that project from command line with --run projectname.
my guess you're using script for earlier version of avidemux?
check this post: 2.6 r8171 CLI --output-format MP4 should be the same principle, just other codec and settings?

[johnbail]

it seem like any time I change video it fails. is there  a way to get the segment info for script? when I leave when I remove the lines it dose not work.
my current script is attached I pragmatically change the load line then try to process the upload MOV file.

I am under the impreseion that if I remove
app.clearSegments();
app.addSegment(0,0,956);
app.markerA=0;
app.markerB=955;

I should be able to process video of different lengths but this is not working I keep getting errors.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

If you keep these settings you only save the part that is marked?
All videos use same audio encoding/audio/tracks/video codec resolution?
Replace avidemux3_cli.exe by the avidemux.exe (the one starting Graphics User interface)
will not look nice, but you should be abble to follow what is going on.
In short don't use the command line avidemux in your script.

[johnbail]

I have tried that it just says "load crash info" when you select OK it exist. I have never found a log I have looked in the location stated in a earlier post. I will keep trying.

[johnbail]

for your questions -
If you keep these settings you only save the part that is marked? Nothing is saved..
All videos use same audio encoding/audio/tracks/video codec resolution? I do ont know done with same iphone.
Replace avidemux3_cli.exe by the avidemux.exe (the one starting Graphics User interface)
will not look nice, but you should be abble to follow what is going on. the UI just crashes..
In short don't use the command line avidemux in your script.

[johnbail]

Thank you everyone.... I believe I have this solved here is the final script.
cmd line "c:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.5\avidemux2_cli.exe" --force-alt-h264 --load <yourfilehere> --run c:\video\script.txt --
save newTest.mp4
