[script] Proxy Stream

Rosebud wrote on 3/8/2008, 6:26 AM

Initially, “Proxy Stream” is to convert the media files of a directory (and can still be used for this task).
Then, I improved it to work with proxy files in a HD/SD workflow.

Download Proxy Stream

Edit: New version (1.5b) available for VP9:
-Proxy Stream 1.5b works with VP9 only (tested with VP10).
-Added ability to anable/disable Switches (Resample, Maintain Aspect Ratio and Reduce Interlace Flicker).
-Proxy files have same creation time and last write time attributs as source file. So you can use SVDTS script
from Paavo Jurvelin with proxy files ( see at http://www.elisanet.fi/paavo.jurvelin/)

Please report any bug you find.
In addition, since I’m not English, thx to tell me if there is some inappropriate words, expressions or syntax error in the interface.

Gilles.

How to use:

THE CONVERSION TAB.
The “directory” area is to select the source files (input) and the proxy files (output) directory.
The “Files to convert” area is to list the media located in the source files directory with one of the selected extension of the “Media Type” area.
The name of the Proxy file is based on the name of the source file + the new extension (for example, “Movie.mpg” become “Movie.mpg.AVI”)

THE SWITCH TAB.
This tab is to switch between the Proxy and Source files in a project.
Proxy and Source files must be stored in the same directory.

You can see if you are logged in and working as an Administrator.

Yeah I am already logged in as Administrator. But the UAC window still pops up everytime I launch Vegas 9 :(

I ran this script and I get:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at EntryPoint.FromVegas(Vegas vegas)

Also, can you add an option for WMA?

Thanks

I'm unable to transform some XCDAM Files to AVCHD 1080i using Proxy Stream script in Vegas 9e via Win7 x86 running both as an admin.

Small files work well. But with the huge files (app. 1 GB or more) the script stops after having transformed the first file.

I receive following error message:

System.IO.IOException: Der Prozess kann nicht auf die Datei "D:\M2tS\Test2.MP4.m2ts" zugreifen, da sie von einem anderen Prozess verwendet wird.
bei System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode. String maybeFullPath)

bei System.IO.File.OpenFile(String path, FileAccess access, SafeFileHandle hande)

Please help me. The script seems to be the only one letting me convert my 100 Camerafiles not sitting in front of Vegas all of the time. :-)

Just to follow up. I'm running V10 on Win7 64 bit.
I got the system error. Gilles says to cure by running the script and Vegas as Administrator. It's easy to do this in Win7 ..

(1) right click on Vegas executable file to get the "properties"
(2) click on "compatibility" tab.
(3) Under Privilege level, check "run as admin"

That's it. Script should now work in 64 bit Vegas. I have not tested extensively. But it seems to work! ..

Merci beau coup Gilles.

Sure, but now every time I run VP11 I get confronted by the "Do you want this program to make changes . . ."

Any thoughts?
