Batch Encoding

This section explains how to use the batch encoding file output function of the Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard.

---

Overview

The Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard is a wizard-like application, and is not intended for use in encoding a large amount of movie materials.

However, you can use the Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard to export encoded contents as a batch file for console programs.

You can use this function to divide up the work phase into two separate phases: one which requires user input (parameter settings) and one that does not require any user input (encoding).

Instructions

Click the [Menu] button in the lower left area of the page to display the Export Menu.

Export Menu

The Export Menu contains two sub menus.

• Batch File (New)
  This creates a new batch file for console programs based on the parameters set in the Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. The output file will have a "*.bat" extension.
• Batch File (Append)
  This appends the parameters set in the Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard to an existing batch file.
