Feature Request: Relative Path Output
I'd love to see an option to enable Relative Path Output with VidCoder, especially in light of how powerful the Enqueue Folder input feature is.
So, we currently need to set an output folder (makes sense), but what I'd like to see instead of every video being dumped into the root of this output folder, is that instead, the folder structure for each input video is mirrored upon output relative to the root output directory.
The top level of this hierarchy should be the folder in the PATH to each file that was selected to open/scan.
So, for instance:
Instead of those two videos living next to one another after transcode, they should instead live in:
%OUTPUTDIRECTORY%\SEWER FILES\VIDEO RECORDS
\a\Alaimo Drive
and
\Converted VHS Tapes\
In the Picker, there is an option: "Output to source folder if possible" that sounds like what you'd like to do.
Almost. I'd like to be able to have a "mirror" in the output directory so I'm not overwriting the source. This way I can archive, re-do, etc. easier.
We do have a feature that preserves the folder structure in the output directory when you enqueue a folder full of files. Is this what you're asking for?
hello - which boxes do i need to tick so that the output folder always remains relative path vs. the source folder?
For example, if i had to queue C:\User\A\Downloads\test.mp4, i want that output to always be C:\User\A\Downloads\ENCODED\test.mp4. and if my queue also has a file on D:\Video\Test2.mp4, similarly it goes into D:\Video\ENCODED\Test2.mp4.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
In the Picker:
this didn't seem to work. I had a file in \downloads\replace and the output was just in the same folder instead of \downloads\ENCODED{file}. Any idea what i need to change?
Uncheck "Output to the source folder if possible" if you always want the output relative to the chosen default folder.
