Command Line Syntax
mc.exe [-preset <preset file>] [-key <parameter key>] [-value <value of the specified key>] [-outfile <output file name>] [-outdir <output folder>] <input file>
Explanations:
- -preset: This specifies the preset file to load which configures the transcoding engine. The preset file can be created with MediaCoder or written from scratch.
- -key/-value: A pair of key and value parameter, followed by two strings, alters the value of a parameter key of the transcoding engine upon the default value. Multiple key/value pairs can be specified to alter several keys.
- -outfile: This specifies the path of the output file.
- -outdir: This specifies the folder where the output file is to be stored. The file name will be generated automatically. If outfile is specified, this parameter has no effect.
- -preset: This specifies the preset file to load which configures the transcoding engine. The preset file can be created with MediaCoder or written from scratch.
- Path to the input file must be specified. If the path, as well as value of the specified parameter key, contains white space, double quotation marks should be present.
Example:
mc.exe -preset d:\presets\flv.xml -outfile g:\out\test.flv -key overall.video.bitrate -value 400 g:\in\test.mpg
This loads flv.xml as preset file, set video bitrate to 400Kbps and convert file test.mpg to test.flv.
