Very basic batch question

Maxim could you please, post a small example such a joining script?

Here is the sample script.

<timeline>
    <group name="C:\Joined.mp3" mode="joining">
      <track out_type="mpa" video="-1" audio="-1" >
          <clip src="D:\Music\01.mp3" start="00:00:00:00" stop="00:04:11:22" />
          <clip src="D:\Music\02.mp3" start="00:00:00:00" stop="00:04:45:28" />
          <clip src="D:\Music\03.mp3" start="00:00:00:00" stop="00:05:56:26" />
          <clip src="D:\Music\04.mp3" start="00:00:00:00" stop="00:05:06:65" />
      </track>
    </group>
</timeline>

"group name" should contain the output file name.
"clip src" should contain names of files to be joined.
"track out_type" should be identifier of the output file type. The following types are available:
mpa - for MPEG 1-2 audio files;
avi - for AVI files;
asf - for ASF, WMV, WMA files;
mpg1_sys - for MPEG 1 files.

However this method is still unsafe, because files should be verified for compatibility first. You should use it only when sure the files are compatible.

Thanks, that did the trick!  I did have 2.2 downloaded, but the join manager isn't in manual, so the manual must be for previous version.

YES, how can I set up batch joins? Or join via a batch file.

It is possible to use SMM_BatchSplit utility to perform joining operation via command line.
As a parameter you'll need to pass the name of xtl file with valid information about joining. The safest way to obtain such file is to save it from join manager. Or you can make this file manually.

Hello bill9340 ,

Thank you for your feedback.  If you use the Splitter of version 2.2 beta, you can join your files via Join Manager


Or may be your question is how to join files from command line using batch files?

This forum seems over my head.  I've saved several video clips using "Add task to batch queue A".  Now how do I watch all those clips in order?  I've tried "Start batch processing", thinking that might join them into one clip, but if it does I don't know where to find it.

I found the instructions are very clear about what each control does, but don't run thru each step with an example.
