There you go

Thanks, the log shows that Avidemux crashed because no video had been loaded. The command line doesn't mention a --load option, subsequent call of --run for your project script  leads as expected to a crash.

[jonwren]

ok what am I doing wrong?
There are 3 MKV Videos inside the folder

Here are my Bat file Settings

set avidemux="C:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
for %%f in (*.mkv) do %avidemux% --load "%%f" --run pui.py --save "%%~nf.mp4" --quit

Here are my Py file Settings

adm = Avidemux()
adm.setContainer("MP4", "muxerType=0", "useAlternateMp3Tag=True", "forceAspectRatio=False", "aspectRatio=1")

Thanks

I'm not really familiar with Windows cmd.exe scripting. Does loading a file alone work? Leave out --run and --save commands for testing purposes and attach a new admlog.txt, please.

[jonwren]

Not sure how to do that, I see no out --run and --save commands in the script

[eumagga0x2a]

Here are my Bat file Settings

set avidemux="C:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 - 64 bits\avidemux.exe"
for %%f in (*.mkv) do %avidemux% --load "%%f" --run pui.py --save "%%~nf.mp4" --quit

Leave the emboldened part of the command line out.

[jonwren]

The program runs and then disappears and nothing has been done

[jonwren]

I re-putin the --run pui.py --save "%%~nf.mp4" --quit command
and now am getting this error again

TinyPy: Exception
Exception : (tp_load) cant get filesize

The program runs and then disappears and nothing has been done

I need admlog.txt from that run.

Thanks, it is not from the run with the --load option alone, but it includes useful information. Will look into it.

[jonwren]

Thank you

[eumagga0x2a]

Could you please try out adding --nogui option before --run but after --load?

(This does not do what one might think. Instead, it prevents dialogs from popping up. The option would not fix the exception but might hide the unpleasant effects)
