Get width or height and add it to file's name with PowerShell ? - Page 2

By the way, you forgot to add VFR in the name for VFR files.

No, I did this on purpose (effective coding). If MediaInfo does not report a value for Width then the file is not a video. No reason to check the Height then, one check is all you need.

No, this was also on purpose. The FrameRate_Mode is not reported under FrameRate, it has its own parameter. I was too lazy to check it, because if you don't get a value for FrameRate then the Mode will always be VFR.

Here is a "universal" template for my needs, it also reports the AspectRatio and the FrameRate_Mode. Under the label "outname" you can easily modify the format of the output to your needs, should be easy...

Thanks.
I achieved to add VFR for VFR files, but the script also adds CFR for CFR files while I didn't specify it ; is there a way not to write anything for the FrameRate_Mode when it's CFR ?
For example ;

Code:

FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%FrameRate_Mode%%" %in%') DO SET fr_mode=%%a
IF "%fr_mode%"=="Variable" SET type=VFR
IF "%fr_mode%"=="Constant" SET type=

I also tried ;

Code:

IF "%fr_mode%"=="Constant" DO NOT SET type

but this adds CFR anyway.

manolito · 2nd March 2019, 21:17

The FrameRate_Mode parameter returns CFR or VFR, not Constant or Variable. Use these lines:

Quote:

FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%FrameRate_Mode%%" %in%') DO SET fr_mode=%%a
SET fr_mode= %fr_mode%
IF "%fr_mode%"==" CFR" SET fr_mode=

and in the "outname" line remove the space character between %fps% and %fr_mode%. Should look like this:

Quote:

%fps%%fr_mode%

If you don't do this your new file name will have an extra space before the dot for CFR files.

Thanks, I also had to remove 2 spaces : in front of %fr_mode% (second line) and in front of CFR (third line).
Otherwise, CFR was added anyway and a space was added in front of VFR (despite the fact that I removed the space in the "outname" line), now it's perfect

Hi manolito,

a few years later, I'm trying to do something else based on your script : change the extension using MediaInfo because I have some video files with wrong extensions and would like to correct them.

I tried to modify your script and made this ;

Code:

@ECHO off
IF !%1==! GOTO syntax
SET Work_Drive=%~d0
SET Work_PATH=%~p0
%Work_DRIVE%
CD "%Work_PATH%"


FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=General;%%Format%%" %in%') DO SET Format=%%a
IF NOT DEFINED Format GOTO next_file
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=General;%%Format profile%%" %in%') DO SET ForProf=%%a
IF "%Format%"=="MPEG-TS" SET Format=ts
IF "%Format%"=="Matroska" SET Format=mkv
IF "%Format%"=="Flash Video" SET Format=flv
IF "%Format%"=="AVI" SET Format=avi
IF "%Format%"=="MPEG-4" GOTO FormProf

:FormProf
IF "%ForProf%"=="Base Media" SET Format=mp4
IF "%ForProf%"=="QuickTime" SET Format=MOV

:outname
SET out_name=%in_name%.%Format%


RENAME %in% "%out_name%"
REM COPY /B %in% "%in_path%%out_name%" >NUL


:next_file
SHIFT
IF NOT !%1==! GOTO syntax
GOTO :EOF

:syntax
CLS
ECHO.
Echo Press a key to exit...
PAUSE >nul

I put it with a .bat extension in my MediaInfo folder but it doesn't work, it actually opens MediaInfo but nothing happens with the extension of the file I dropped on the bat.
I guess something's wrong with my code.

mp4 and mov have both the same format for MediaInfo (MPEG-4), that's why I had to redirect them to "Format profile" (with "GOTO FormProf") which helps to distinguish them.

Thanks for your help.

Music Fan · 10th June 2023, 12:59

By the way, if I put it in the same folder than the CLI version you gave me in 2019, I see briefly a DOS command window (as with your script) but nothing happens either on the video file.

Emulgator · 12th June 2023, 08:22

Since all the sendspace links are dead now, can you put the scripts back up here in doom9 as plain code snippets ?
That would make it possible to troubleshoot & modify, and it would be nice to have them back available again.

Music Fan · 12th June 2023, 11:09

Yes, here is the code that still works with a 2019 CLI MediaInfo version to add resolution in name ;

Code:

@ECHO off
IF !%1==! GOTO syntax
SET Work_Drive=%~d0
SET Work_PATH=%~p0
%Work_DRIVE%
CD "%Work_PATH%"

:loop
SET in="%~1"
SET in_path=%~dp1
SET in_name=%~n1
SET extension=%~x1
SET width=
SET height=
Set type=
SET fr_mode=
SET fps=

FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%Width%%" %in%') DO SET width=%%a
IF NOT DEFINED width GOTO next_file
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%Height%%" %in%') DO SET height=%%a
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%ScanType%%" %in%') DO SET type=%%a
IF NOT DEFINED type SET type=p
IF "%type%"=="Progressive" SET type=p
IF "%type%"=="Interlaced" SET type=i
IF "%type%"=="MBAFF" SET type=i
IF "%type%"=="PAFF" SET type=i
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%FrameRate_Mode%%" %in%') DO SET fr_mode=%%a
SET fr_mode=%fr_mode%
IF "%fr_mode%"=="CFR" SET fr_mode=
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=Video;%%FrameRate%%" %in%') DO SET fps=%%a
IF NOT DEFINED fps GOTO outname
:format_fps
IF %fps:~-1%==0 SET fps=%fps:~0,-1%& GOTO format_fps
IF %fps:~-1%==. SET fps=%fps:~0,-1%

:outname
SET out_name=%in_name% %width%.%height%%type%%fps%%fr_mode%

I didn't use %extension% at the RENAME and REM COPY lines in my new script (see a few posts above), that's maybe the problem but I believed my trick could work.

Many thanks, Music Fan !

Music Fan · 28th June 2023, 19:34

Hi Emulgator, did you try to modifiy my script (based on manolito's work) to find the problem ?

Emulgator · 28th June 2023, 22:59

Not yet, sitting deep in repairs...

Music Fan · 26th July 2023, 18:54

Hi, I made some modifications and there is a little progress.
But curiously, the code only works with ts, avi and mkv but not with mp4, mov, wmv and flv for which extension is removed

Same problem with a more recent MediaInfo CLI version.

Code:

@ECHO off
IF !%1==! GOTO syntax
SET Work_Drive=%~d0
SET Work_PATH=%~p0
%Work_DRIVE%
CD "%Work_PATH%"

:loop
SET in="%~1"
SET in_path=%~dp1
SET in_name=%~n1
SET extension=

FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=General;%%Format%%" %in%') DO SET Format=%%a
IF NOT DEFINED Format GOTO next_file
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=General;%%Format profile%%" %in%') DO SET Format profile=%%a
IF "%Format%"=="MPEG-TS" SET extension=ts
IF "%Format%"=="Matroska" SET extension=mkv
IF "%Format%"=="Flash Video" SET extension=flv
IF "%Format%"=="AVI" SET extension=avi
IF "%Format%"=="MPEG-4" GOTO FormProf

:FormProf
IF "%Format profile%"=="Base Media" SET extension=mp4
IF "%Format profile%"=="Base Media / Version 2" SET extension=mp4
IF "%Format profile%"=="QuickTime" SET extension=MOV

:outname
SET out_name=%in_name%


RENAME %in% "%out_name%.%extension%"
REM COPY /B %in% "%in_path%%out_name%.%extension%" >NUL


:next_file
SHIFT
IF NOT !%1==! GOTO syntax
GOTO :EOF

:syntax

ECHO.
Echo Press a key to exit...

Music Fan · 5th August 2023, 11:16

I still made a little modification and now the extension is not removed anymore for mp4, mov, wmv and flv files but is not corrected either, very strange

Code:

@ECHO off
IF !%1==! GOTO syntax
SET Work_Drive=%~d0
SET Work_PATH=%~p0
%Work_DRIVE%
CD "%Work_PATH%"

:loop
SET in="%~1"

IF NOT DEFINED Format GOTO next_file
FOR /F %%a in ('MediaInfo.exe "--Inform=General;%%Format profile%%" %in%') DO SET Formatprofile=%%a
IF "%Format%"=="MPEG-TS" SET extension=.ts
IF "%Format%"=="Matroska" SET extension=.mkv
IF "%Format%"=="Flash Video" SET extension=.flv
IF "%Format%"=="AVI" SET extension=.avi
IF "%Format%"=="Windows Media" SET extension=.wmv
IF "%Format%"=="MPEG-4" GOTO FormProf

:FormProf
IF "%Formatprofile%"=="Base Media" SET extension=.mp4
IF "%Formatprofile%"=="Base Media / Version 2" SET extension=.mp4
