Script for .MKV to .AVI and export to different drive

[emosbek]

Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to SAB, Bashscript ect. so i'm seeking some help.

What i want to accomplish is a Post-processing script that converts .MKV to .AVI then exports the converted file to a different drive/share. All automated without need for me to accept stuff.

I use XBMC for .MKV but because of the size the tablet that i want to convert files for can only hold 2 .MKV movies.
Basically i want to copies for the same movie. One that i is .MKV (20-40 GB) and a .AVI (~6GBish)

Can this be done?

I'm more than willing to donate for the time if anyone want/have the time to help me out.

Regards Evan

I stumbled over this http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1870 but i have a hard time knowing if this is correct or where to begin

In the code from post two it says

This Batch File Makes It Easy To Convert All .MKV Files In The Given Directory To .AVI Files

so i guess its a manual script. Please, correct me if am wrong.

no one?

So you basically want MKV files converted/downsampled into XviD?

Will you running this on Windows or Linux?

How about in Unix(iPad) and instead of mkv to avi, mkv to mp4 (just changing container)?

SAB is running on windows

Sure! me goal is to run it on an BlackBerry Playbook, and/or PMS (Playstation Media Server) and i do believe mp4 is supported

On windows :

Grab XenonMkv : http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/download

Setup post processing batch file :

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SET XenonMKV=C:\XenonMKV\XenonMKV.exe
SET INPUT_PATH=%1\
SET MOVE_PATH=C:\transcoded_movies\
IF EXIST %INPUT_PATH%*sample*.mkv DEL /Q %INPUT_PATH%*sample*.mkv
IF EXIST %INPUT_PATH%*.mkv %XenonMKV% -inputfolder %INPUT_PATH% -outputfolder %INPUT_PATH%
IF EXIST %INPUT_PATH%temp RMDIR /S /Q %INPUT_PATH%temp
IF EXIST %INPUT_PATH%*.mp4 MOVE /Y %INPUT_PATH%*.avi %MOVE_PATH%
ECHO Completed Transcoding

You will need to setup the XenonMKV and MOVE_PATH variables to be accurate for your system configuration.

If you configured XenonMKV to rename files to .avi, you will need to change the line :

Code: Select all

IF EXIST %INPUT_PATH%*.mp4 MOVE /Y %INPUT_PATH%*.avi %MOVE_PATH%

To :

Code: Select all

IF EXIST %INPUT_PATH%*.avi MOVE /Y %INPUT_PATH%*.avi %MOVE_PATH%%

Hi

I am looking for exactly this script to convert MTV files for playback on my Xbox 360. However I have Sabnzbd set up on Ubuntu desktop OS.

Please can someone suggest what changes I would need to make to this script so that it works on Ubuntu ? The idea is that files received from sick beard and couchpotato would be converted if they arrive as .mkv.

Any help would be very appreciated as I am a bit out of my depth in creating scripts..

Thanks
