Autorip Updated

Autorip has now been updated with the following changes:

1. Allows you now to set it to rip only (and don’t encode)
2. smart renaming – if it rips main feature, it names it in the usual way. Multiple features get sequential names
3. Improved UI layout, file paths are now readonly to the browse button must be used.
4. Custom query added. If you want to use your own query – save it into the first live of a text file, call the file arcustomquery.txt and save it in the program folder. You may then choose that from the drop down.
5. General bug fixes.
6. Created installer version which adds to your start up items.

REMEMBER – YOU NEED MAKEMKV INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK!!!

WatchFolder for iTunes

Ok, so the new updates and utilities and changes will start to roll out , hopefully every day next week with a number of changes.

Here is a new utility: Watch folder for iTunes.

What it does – sits and runs in system tray. When a new file is added to any of the two watch folders , it will auto add those files to iTunes. You can set it to watch for video, audio or both.

Installer adds a start up entry so it will start on any reboot etc.

This is a precursor to adding this facility into all of the encoding tools, and any feedback is appreciated.

Note: this shouldn’t be used with any of the batch or other watch programs yet, in that this will add files if they are in the same directory as soon as the encode starts, which is before metadata is added. Currently the best way to use this : run your batch encoder, watch folder and either have them set to move the files at the end of encode, or move them to the final destination yourself. watch for itunes will find them and add them. hence this app will be useful for some and not others depending on how you work.

Note 2: Obv is only adds stuff when it is running. It doesn;t go back and check if stuff was added when it was not running!

Download: Watchfoldersetup.exe

Linux?

So, i am just reorganising the downloads sections and adding some linux bash scripts. So here’s my thing – any particular user needs in bash?

I am also posting some silly little windows exes – things like restart of itunes to resync AppleTV, that sort of thing.

 

Added a twitter feed

Videoscripts posts will now be added live to our twitter web page – http://www.twitter.com/videoscripts

Every post added so should be easier to keep up to date with updates and stuff.

HB BatchEncoder setup file now available

The batchEncoder Ui for Hb has proved very successful if measure in the number of downloads….

So here is something to make it even easier : A nice windows setup file – just download and run, it will install the program , atomic parsley and handbrake to a single folder and you are all good to go , no further downloads, set up etc needed.

a couple small updates

Updated batch Ui today to support wmv, few cosmetic changes and it now includes the atomic parsely exe.

Updated the scheduled avi encoder with metadata, to include much better metadata handling – it can now figure out if its a movie or tv show and set the itunes type tag accordingly.

Both at the same links as they were on the downloads pages.
