the link u posted above, i dont know how to edit the script to make it work(that is in txt format). i went thru the manual but no help. i tried to run the 'batch render' script but it started rendering just one project.
thanks again for ur patient.
The script is a text file but it must be saved to disk with the '.js' extension. Maybe the problem is that you have saved it with the .txt extension. This FAQ may help.
ok guys i m getting there.
according to http://www.ayizwe.net/VegasScripts/RenderQueue.js.txt
i tried to change the render output from 'video for windows' to 'mainconcept mpeg-2' but got an error message runningit. i think i have done something stupid.
can u help? i also want to know how to change the save location.
thanks again.
Just a guess but the render types may be case sensitive. Make sure you use "/MainConcept MPEG-2/" and not "/mainconcept mpeg-2/". You will also need change the sub-type from "/NTSC DV/" to "/DVD NTSC/". They must both be matched. In others words:
Change this:
var rendererRE = /Video for Windows/;
var templateRE = /NTSC DV/;
To this:
var rendererRE = /MainConcept MPEG-2/;
var templateRE = /DVD NTSC/;
To change the output directory you must modify the next line containing the defaultOutputDir to include the directory name. The trick here is that you must use double backslashes for each directory separator. Here is an example which places the files in "C:\temp":
var defaultOutputDir = "C:\\temp";
So a directory name like "F:\Video\Renders" becomes "F:\\Video\\Renders". Hope this helps.

thanks so much, this is exactly what i want.
everything works fine now. the only mistake i have made is i didnt change 'var templateRE = /NTSC DV/;' to 'var templateRE = /DVD NTSC/;' , thats why it didnt work. thanks for the detail ;)
i will try the output directory later and tell u whats going on.
you rock!
